List of Unsupported Nighthawk AC Routers?

Is there a list of nighthak ac routers that are no longer supported? I am looking to upgrade but don't want to go backwards in greards to security updates.

      I've seen something but lost track of it. Perhaps I'm using the wrong termonology. Maybe something like End of Service list.

        microchip8 is correct, as usual. The term you are looking for is "End of Life", but the EOL tag turns up only when you start looking for a particular device. Even then it may not appear, because Netgear may still churn out firmware updates for things that you can't buy any more.

         

        Not sure what such a list would do for you. If you can buy something, and if Netgear still has it on its product pages, it ain't EOL.
