Archer C7 (v2)
No end date
No end date announced yet . estimated end October 2027
The maker discontinued this model in the US on January 21, 2019. The maker’s policy says security updates usually end 3 years after discontinuation, but an update came out after that, so I estimate from the updates instead. TP-Link end-of-life policy (opens in a new tab)

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 doesn't name the CVEs below. A CVE record or report by another organisation ties them to this model and to the fixed firmware. 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.
