BR500 discontinued?

I notice the BR500 has been unavailable for purchase new at most online retail outlets for some time. Is this product being discontinued?

  • Hello,

    The BR500 is discountinued, and we are not expecting new stock.

    We will be announcing a new SMB Business router soon. Please stay tuned.

    Thank You,

  • Same Here wanted to purchase another one and no one has them for sale only on the Dell website but theyre selling the pack of 2.

    Netgear support waited 45 minutes for a support agent to get on the phone and nothing.

  • Why would Netgear decomission a VPN router without providing a replacement first?  I really have been evaluating a lot of different VPN routers and found that this one was the way I wanted to go.. then all the sudden they discontinue.  Maybe you cannot discuss what they are replacing with but maybe a when - are we talking days weeks or months?
