Key dates
- Release
- February 2021 · estimateHow I calculated it: NETGEAR's end-of-service product list (September 2026 file) dates the first shipment of item RAX42-100NAS (first hardware version) to February 2021 (column 'first_xf_date'). NETGEAR gives no launch date, so the launch month is estimated from it.
- Last update
- August 10, 2026 · version 1.0.18.146
- End of support
- August 2026 · estimateThe maker gives no date: this is the month of the last update.
