![]() Google so far has three routers, the oldest dating back to 2016. ![]() In tech jargon, this is an “end of life” list, and any router that appears on it should be replaced.Īsus, D-Link, Netgear, Synology, and TP-Link all have router end-of-life lists, while Eero says it still supports its first-gen mesh routers. If you’re lucky, your router’s manufacturer keeps an updated list of devices it no longer actively supports. The tricky part here is determining whether and when your router has stopped receiving firmware updates. Without these regular updates, the odds increase that your data could end up in the wrong hands or that your router (or the devices on your network) could end up in a botnet, an army of “zombie” devices under the control of hackers, and used for crimes. More important, firmware updates often include security patches that help keep you and your data safe from hackers.
