Not sure what is EOL on the webpage for SXK50
Orbi Pro SXK50 | WiFi 6 System | NETGEAR Support On the above page it shows that "This product/software is end-of-life." Not sure if this is referring to the hardware or software (Insight Pre...
This means the device can no longer be ordered new from the factory 8-)
Yes, extremely poor unlucky information on the product life cycle in general - leaving to wrong assumptions and false actions.
Really surprised on the EOL for it. It was just released in 2022.
EOL is when the factories are no longer abvle to manufacture an SKU, for example because some key components are not easy replaceable, or wores .. no longer available in the market.
Still, I really I don't appreciate hat Netgear still fails to publish inbdustry-standard product-life-cycle information in time. This includes the inability for maintaining making the LoV available along with the firmware and the many documentations (QSG, UG, ...).
Dang, I just looked through the EOL list for the business products, and the whole 30 through 80 series is EOL.

Surprises me since it's still in retail channels. (not Netgear)
Netgear pulled all their business Orbi Pro devices from their site as well.

Looks pretty empty.
Guess I'll have to stop recommending those devices. That is a bummer as I really liked recommending them for those businesses who were self-managed and just needed a little extra coverage and features. I'm not quite familiar enough with the Insight-managed mesh features to recommend them to newbies.
