Does anyone know when the end of life date is for the ARRIS SURFboard mAX 6E W161?

Best answer by SURFboard Moderator

It's just an electronic device, and you can't predict its lifespan precisely. Some devices work for more than five years, while others may stop working within a year. It depends on the quality of the product.
