TP-Link and ASUS routers and network gear — end-of-life and end-of-support dates by model

End-of-life and end-of-support dates for home networking hardware, each read off the vendor's own EOL list and quoted from it. Counted 2026-09-16 across the 987 published records: TP-Link 649 (from TP-Link's dated Home EOL list, which prints an announcement date and an end-of-support date per model and regional SKU) and ASUS 335 (from ASUS's networking EOL page, which prints membership of the end-of-life list and no dates at all), plus three Linksys rows that are software features rather than models — see _curator_2026_09_16. TWO THINGS THIS DOES NOT COVER, both of which the description claimed until 2026-09-16. NETGEAR: no records. Its consumer end-of-service list is a JavaScript model lookup that still returns 'No end of service results found' to a fetcher (re-tested 2026-09-16), and the enterprise EOL PDF its own notes point at downloads to an empty file, so there is nothing here for a NETGEAR owner and the page should not imply there is. Routers only: no. About 600 of the 987 (61%) are routers or mesh systems; the rest are range extenders, USB and PCIe Wi-Fi adapters, powerline kits, a handful of cable modems, access points, a USB hub and a print server — all of them on the vendors' own home-network EOL lists, so they belong here, but a title promising routers alone was describing three fifths of the asset. Answers 'is my TP-Link Archer C2600 still getting security updates', which nobody else has assembled: endoflife.date's device category is 20 consumer phones and tablets with zero router vendors (verified in the 2026-08-10 eol-recon), and the enterprise-gear niche is occupied by refurb resellers.

Provenance — what every record carries

Every record carries source (the URL the value was read from) and source_quote (a verbatim quote from that page stating it). A value you cannot check against its page is indistinguishable from an invented one; these can all be checked. Each record is also individually addressable on the canonical site at its url.

Licence position

Facts (dates, model status) cited and quoted from each vendor's own published EOL list with attribution; no compilation reproduced beyond the facts.

Facts are not copyrightable; what this dataset takes from each source is a fact plus a short attributed quote linking back to the page that states it.
