Released October 2024.3Maker product pageweb.archive.org/web/20241102204449/https://www.netgear.com/home/wifi/routers/rs150Read 14 October 2026The archived page already carried a NEW tag on 2024-11-02, and the RS200 page linked RS150 documents on 2024-10-06. The page's own product data lists 2024-09-25, but NETGEAR's product data for the Orbi 370 lists dates two months before its US release, so that field is not trusted. October 2024 is the best supported month and may be off by a month or two. The shared manual and quick start guide for RS150v1 are dated 2025-03 and May 2024. Last checked 14 October 2026.
