Orbi RBR40

Key dates

Release

March 2017 · estimate

How I calculated it: This router was first sold in mesh kits. NETGEAR's end-of-service product list (September 2026 file) dates the first shipment of the RBK40 kit (item RBK40-100NAS), the earliest kit with this router in the list, to March 2017 (column 'first_xf_date'). NETGEAR gives no launch date for the router, so the launch month is estimated from it.

Last update

January 13, 2026 · version 2.7.6.6

End of support

June 1, 2022 · vendor notice

Note: NETGEAR's end-of-service list (September 2026 file) has no row for this router alone. It dates each kit and satellite item (SKU) separately. This is the latest US date among the RBK40, RBK43, RBK44 and RBS40 items (RBS40-100NAS, 1 June 2022). Other items ended earlier, the first in 2018.
