I've noticed that the end-of-life is approaching for the RV325 dual WAN router. At:
in a document dated October 31, 2019, it says that January 29, 2021 (7 months from now!) will be the "End of SW Maintenance Releases Date", i.e. "The last date that Cisco Engineering may release any final software maintenance releases or bug fixes. After this date, Cisco Engineering will no longer develop, repair, maintain, or test the product software."
The natural replacement path would seem to be the RV345, however that router will be nearly 4 years old in January 2021:

(i.e. it was released in February 2017) Is that what others are switching to, or is there a better offering coming in the near future from Cisco, one that will be supported longer?

Hi sir,
My name is Puneet Sandel and I am from Cisco small business technical support center.
Rv320/RV325 is going to be end of support in Jan 2021 however in case of any hardware replacement request all customers will be provided Rv320/Rv325s only till the stocks last in the local warehouses. Once all Rv320/325s have been provided and the stocks finish then RV340/345s will be provided to the customers.
Rv340/345s are being provided as both the models are somewhere more similar to RV320/325s.
Only Rv340/345s will be provided as the replacement for RV320/325s and there is no scope of getting any other models specially Rv160/260 as those are high end small business routers. Cisco provides routers as the replacement having same features and functionality.
Hope this post will help you out with the query.
Note: No configuration/troubleshooting assistance will be provided for Rv320/325s after Jan 29, 2021. However the replacement of RV320/325s will still be active till January 31, 2025.
Please mark this post helpful and solution so it might help others here.
Regards,
Puneet Sandel
