Is the Orbi RBR20 EOL?
The last firmware update was released in spring 2022. Has this system reached end of life/end of service? I'm concerned about the security of my network.

The RBR20 will no longer receive firmware updates in regards to additional features. However, it will receive security firmware updates when it is required.

Not really any particular reason i'm worried about security - i've just heard that router manufacturers don't always stay on top of things, and 1.5 years seems like a really long time to not receive any updates. Every other device I have gets updated far more frequently.

Thanks! Any idea how long it will continue to receive security updates?
