FVS336Gv3 Firmware lifespan / Product life expectancy
Is there any information about the Firmware lifespan of the Netgear ProSafe FVS336Gv3? or something about its life expectancy as a product? I'm asking that becasue I'm looking for a Dual WAN Giga...
I too have an old FVS114...and it is currently running!
My question was more focused about the "Firmware lifespan" (so it was definitely Software related)...not about the Hardware per se (even if I started with a brief Hardware comparison)...I know that Hardware will mostly survive its Software...or, better, its Software...when development (no...marketing) decides that is time for the EoL/EoS phase...is the real Hardware's killer. That's the problem with these types of appliances.
So, despite the good Hardware below the chassis, and given that the FVS336Gv3 product was released two years ago...I was interested in knowing how many years of development that product has on its horizon.
Hi Kimera,
We have released the FVS336Gv1 back in 2008 and it had gone through a lot of hardware and software improvements which led to creating the v3. The v1 still stands strong and we still continue to provide firmware updates for it. IMHO as long as the FVS336Gv3 is still relevant and there are still a good number of users, updates will still be implemented. The v3 is one of the best routers that we have right now on the market so I don't see it going out anytime soon.
Thanks,
That's great!
