Has anyone returned to costco after 90 days? The disconnects are killing me....

Keep going through the firmware updates, but daily I have to unplug and restart the system to reconnect.  VERY frustrated....

  • new fw has just been released to auto update , try it first and factory reset after its fully updated and manually re enter any data needed and test

     

    if its still an issue after that contact me and i can help you get it escalated and rma if needed

  • I am wondering the same thing, wonder if they would even offer a store credit at this point. My unit has turned into an expensive magenta dim flashlight.
    • same for you above , if the latest fw doesnt fix your issue plas message me and i will help you escilate it and get rma if needed

        Yes, I am willing to try anything at this point.  What do you need me to do?  I am already on the BETA firmware.

  • To answer my own question: yes, you can return to Costco within a year. They took it back at over 6 months with no questions.  Love Costco.

     

    Never got anywhere with Netgear support - by phone or via forum.  Got tired of wasting so much time on this. The offer to help on this forum was a dead end. 

     

    Bought new Eero Pro - set up in about 10 minutes.  Had one issue, called support 7PM EST, immediately spoke with a knowledgeable, super-cool guy who helped with my issue.  The interface is super slick. Miss all the ethernet ports of the orbi but I'll deal with that.  Much rather have reliable internet!

        I am still with daily disconnects. 

         

        Support case #28641XXX.

         

        serial: XXXXX

         

        Purchase Costco: 12/16/2016

         

        Firmware V1.11.0.20

         

        Adjusted settings based on support recommendations. 

         

        Still with near daily disconnects from Comcast internet - need to restart for reconnection. 

         

        hi

         

        no real easy fix atm as far as i know 

         

        i can help get you case escilated to tech level 3 if you wish which will end up with an rma so you can return if its a proven fault 

         

        just need some details from you 

         

        eg 

         

        short history of performance and issues along with fw version and serial numbers , purchase date , email address etc , as much detail as possible and i will forward to the correct department and they will contact you 

         

        cheers
