Frequently asked questions
When is the Cisco C866VAE-W-E-K9 end of life?

What replaces the Cisco C866VAE-W-E-K9?
Cisco's recommended migration is the Cisco ISR 1100 4-Port Dual GE WAN Router with 802.11ac WiFi (C1111-4PWE). Uniqcli, an authorized Cisco partner, can quote the replacement TAA-compliant and GPC-payable, and help plan the cutover.
Can I still get support for the C866VAE-W-E-K9?
Not from Cisco. The C866VAE-W-E-K9 passed its Last Date of Support (Feb 28, 2025), so Cisco TAC, hardware replacement, and SmartNet renewals are no longer available. Independent third-party maintenance can still cover the hardware itself, typically well below OEM renewal rates. Uniqcli can review your install base, confirm coverage, and quote extended support or a refresh side by side.
