Hallo DaneA,
thank for the eol-link. I have checked FVS318G and found it listed as replacement. So I conclude it is supported.
I have another netgear box: FVS318V3 with latest update 3.0_28 from march 2011 which is a long time ago.
Here the same applies? If it is not listed on the eol-page it is supported and has no known security flaw?
Thank you again.
Regards,
Bill

Hi Bill_s,
The FVS318v3 has no indication that it is EOL. However, it has been many years that there is no new firmware updates for the FVS318v3. For me, I could consider this as EOL because its specifications are way too behind compared to the new NETGEAR ProSAFE Firewalls like the FVS318Gv2 or FVS336Gv3. It seems that the NETGEAR EOL list should be updated and it should include the FVS318v3.
Regards,
DaneA
