Not very difficult.
Can't believe they continue providing incorrect information to the customers.
With every update of a support case, you receive an E-Mail including a link where you can reply. Was u der the impression there is a button under the open case, too.

They want me to spend $50 on extended phone support for a $80 switch.
Completely wrong handling by the support person. In Europe for example there is a three year hardware warranty on these switches (for the first buyer, product registration mandatory, upload of original invoice can be required).

On RMA requests, Netgear does indeed a troubleshoot session. On this switch class, this will be a short thing as you correctly assume.
