Netgear is the absolute worst
Walmart sold me something that was registered years before I purchased it. I have been getting the run around and basically netgear refuses to acknowledge that the product was sitting at a store not in use. They allowed me to register it under my account in April 2019 but their records show it sold and registered in 2017/2018.
So I spent all my money on a router they give no warranty and no support. Then their customer service are a JOKE and they won't help their users.
It's an absolute awful way to treat customers.

Take it back to walmart and get another or contact NG support and they can fix the registration issue if you just bought a system that had been returned. It's not that hard to do.

Netgear can do something about this but they are Jerk offs.
So I'll just never purchase their garbage again.
Customer service like this is a reason why companies die.
I'll send flowers when it's Netgear's turn.- FURRYe38Jul 21, 2019Guru - Experienced User
