R8000 EOL date?

Could someone with Netgear Support please provide what the projected End-Of-Life/End-Of-Support (firmware/security fixes) date for the Nighthawk X6 R8000 WiFi router will be?

 

Thanks.

NG doesn't give projected EoL dates. 

If it's appears here then you'll know: https://community.netgear.com/t5/Nighthawk-WiFi-Routers/Top-NETGEAR-FAQs-Support-and-End-of-Service/...

And many of them get the updates from the chipset maker. If the chipset maker still pushes updates, the router can still get updates. The R7000 for example still gets updates and it was released in 2013. Versus some newer routers have already been EOL because the chipset maker isn't updating them anymore.
