Key dates
- Release
- September 2024 · estimateHow I calculated it: NETGEAR's own press release (dated 2024-09-24, on investor.netgear.com) announcing the RS500 says it was available at that time. NETGEAR gives no exact on-sale day, so the availability month (2024-09) is used as the launch month.
- Last update
- June 11, 2026 · version 1.2.7.2
- End of support
- No end date
- Estimated end
- March 2031 · estimateThe release date plus the median support length of 37 Netgear Router models with a known end: 6 years 6 months.

Fixes received: estimated 1
Each fix below rests partly on our inference, not only on the maker's word. By this estimate, the newest firmware we know for this model has them. Not counted in the other numbers on this page.
Basis: The maker says only some regional models of this device were affected and doesn't say which, so we list the fix for all of them. The firmware we recorded for this model is on a different version line from the fixed firmware, so we assumed it has the fix because its number or date is later.
Firmware 1.0.1.90 or later
