Is the RAXE300 considered a dead product?

So as the title says, is the RAXE300 dead?

I mean there has been no firmware update for that device since almost a year, with critical bugs unfixed, like the known slow WiFi USB write speed, which is unfixed since over a year. The RAXE500 on the other hand constantly gets firmware updates with tons of bugs fixed, so what about the RAXE300? Did the development for that device stopped?

      Yes, the unfixed slow WiFi USB write speeds which is known since release but not fixed until now, the internet connection stopping working when only the modem is reset but not the router which is also there since day without any fix until now and the missing fixes for security vulnerabilities which other netgear routers regularly get.

      At this point it feels like the support for the raxe300 is dropped and the router reached already it's end of life, without even fixing known issues.

    Which critical  bugs are these?

     

    Where can we read about the USB speed thing? Is that ReadySHARE? That is often down to Windows.
