Deco X20 (v4)
No end date
No end date announced yet . estimated end December 2029
Minimum support period for the UK: the maker promises security updates for products sold in the UK until at least December 31, 2029. This is a legal minimum for that market, not an end date, and it may not apply to other markets.
The maker discontinued this model in the US on July 23, 2025. The maker’s policy says security updates usually end 3 years after discontinuation, but its minimum support period for the UK runs longer, so I estimate the end from that. TP-Link end-of-life policy (opens in a new tab)
