R8500 support status
Router · North America SKU record · Release date not documented
Support ended
R8500 R8500-100NAS has passed NETGEAR's published End of Service date and no longer receives firmware updates, including security updates.
What this status means for R8500
R8500 is past the recorded Nov 2018 security-support point. This does not mean the phone immediately stops working, but newly discovered issues may no longer receive manufacturer fixes under the cited commitment.

- Not documented · No reviewed date
“Not documented” means DevLifeCheck has no approved date for this field; it does not claim the manufacturer has never announced one. Support dates describe a published commitment or documented policy calculation. Carrier and regional delivery can differ. OS, security, end-of-sale and cloud-service dates are independent facts and are never copied into one another.

This record is not a universal “global variant.” Match the model number, sales market and carrier before applying a date to your phone. A materially different variant must receive its own reviewed lifecycle evidence.

Latest firmware or patch
No exact model-and-region firmware or patch version has been independently verified for this record. DevLifeCheck will not infer it from a lifecycle-policy page.
Recall and safety screening
No exact marketed-name or model-code match found in the CPSC recall dataset as of 2026-09-04. This US-only name screening is not proof that no recall exists; check the exact model, carrier and local regulator.
Recalls & Product Safety Warnings · United States · checked Sep 2026 ↗Repairability and battery
No model-specific repairability score or official battery-service cutoff has been reviewed for this record yet. Check the manufacturer's regional repair channel before buying parts or assuming service availability.
Do not compare numeric scores across different schemes, versions or jurisdictions. A missing value means not documented, not zero.
Known limitations and conflicts
Policy dates can conflict with carrier schedules, regional product-security statements and the exact hardware variant. No additional conflict has been approved for this record; that means “not documented,” not “none exist.”
Repair or replace factors
Replace this exact SKU before relying on it for sensitive traffic, then factory-reset and recycle it responsibly.
- Support horizon: security support is recorded through Nov 2018.
- Evidence certainty: this is a official record with month precision.
- Software visibility: the latest model/region-specific firmware is not yet documented, so it is not used as a positive signal.
- Repair data: no comparable model-specific repairability record is approved yet, so repair cost and parts availability must be checked separately.
Supported alternatives
These are later-supported catalog records, ranked with the same brand first where available. This is lifecycle guidance, not a purchase endorsement.
