The support period the maker announced is over, but it still published a security fix on April 15, 2024.

Dates and sources

Dates and sources

The maker’s announced end date (January 2024) stays, but the maker published a security fix afterwards (April 2024), so this page doesn’t say fixes have stopped.

Calculated The maker doesn’t state this date directly, so I calculated it from the maker’s own data.

Key dates

Release
April 2019 · estimate
How I calculated it: NETGEAR's own press release (dated 2019-04-09, on investor.netgear.com) announcing the RAX40 gives its availability as April 2019. NETGEAR gives no exact on-sale day, so the availability month (2019-04) is used as the launch month. The release predates the v2 hardware, so it is used for v1.
Last update
April 15, 2024 · version 1.0.6.106
Note: NETGEAR gives no release date for this firmware. The date is the day NETGEAR first published the security advisory (PSV-2023-0166) that names this version as the fix, so the version was out by then.
End of support
January 1, 2024 · calculated by us from the maker’s data
How I calculated it: NETGEAR’s EOS list has no North-America retail SKU for RAX40 V1 (RAX40-100NAS is V2). The only North-America V1 row (DSPLY196-100NAS, model RAX40 V1) says EOS 01-JAN-2024; V1 SKUs for other markets list 2020-12-11 (CN) to 2026-07-01 (UK).
