When a Wireless Router receives no more firmware updates from manufacturer is it time to replace?

[QUOTE="Zero Knowledge, post: 1018929, member: 57429"] It depends on the manufacturer. Some do in rare mass exploitation events; Enterprise gear like Cisco, Fortinet, Ubiquiti, and Mikrotik offer great long-term support for bugs/exploits, ASUS is pretty good on the consumer side with long term support then Netgear is behind them and last is TP-Link, and most of ISP supplied routers are rubbish but most companies don't and just stop providing updates full stop when a router is EOL. When a product is EOL it's best to move on since security updates are usually no longer provided and your probably behind 5 years on current technology anyway. [/QUOTE]
