End of life (EOL) refers to the point in time when Linksys products are no longer manufactured. There are many reasons why Linksys may choose to EOL a product, including replacing older technologies with newer technologies, changes in demand, and supply constraints. Once End of Life is announced, the product is no longer manufactured. Linksys will honor products in warranty after the EOL date, subject to the terms and conditions described in the product warranty. Linksys will support products with critical firmware updates and security updates for a period of time after EOL.


End of Support (EOS) is the last date a product will be affirmatively supported by Linksys, subject to applicable law. After this date, Linksys will no longer provide software updates or fixes, technical support, security updates, hardware repairs, or returns.
