Orbi RBR50 Warranty Period?
Hey all, bought an RBR50 back in May of 2019 from Amazon directly. Was checking my account today and noticed it said all of my warranty has expired for it, even though the Netgear site says the RBR50 has a 1 year warranty from purchase date. I'm not even given an option to contact support about it since it's expired. Little confused on what to do about that. I don't really forsee needing to warranty it, but it's a bit odd that warranty only lasted 90 days?

Errrr, can't edit my post, but it's actually the RBK50 (the one with the two points).
The warranty is 1 year. There are 90 days of "free telephone support" directly from Netgear. If the product "fails" between 90 days and 1 year, there is a mechanism to request an RMA ("Return Material Authorization?) and have it replaced.
My Orbi is WELL past 1 year, so I personally have not investigated (a) how to "prove" that the product has failed, or (b) how to get ahold of Netgear to have it replaced.
Fortunately, Amazon keeps records forever so you can establish when it was purchased if you need to in the next five months.
Hi zmon
Welcome to NETGEAR Community!
Newly purchased products have 90 days of Support available for free. If you are outside the complimentary 90 days technical support period but within the hardware warranty (1 year) you may contact support for limited assistance with a hardware check. You can also post a question on our community forums and get assistance from other knowledgeable users at https://community.netgear.com/

Community TeamThanks for clarifying the support stages. Can you describe how a person contacts support for that "limited assistance with a hardware check"?
