That link leads into a circular set of web pages with no way to see hardware support.
BTW, I have been a Netgear user for the past 12 plus years with many products registered.
And that is why I requested help -- failing hardware that is registered and covered under hardware warranty but the only link is to go to the 'community forum'.
Does Netgear employ humans that can help?

There's a business number on there.

Thank you for your reply -- but it was just speculation.
Absent a case number the telephone wait time is over 90 minutes for an agent.

The community forum is where members of the public help out.
You either need to go through the support site to get a case number/rma going or call them.
there's nothing to do on the forum to get that.

The reason that I opened this discussion is to somehow embarrass Netgear so they stop pointing to the community forum instead of having a way to open a case. I have many devices registered, my clients have hundreds.
You are a nice person but what I want is Netgear management to pay attention.
