Optimizing Wi-Fi Coverage Across a Multi-Bay Dealership Lot (John Autos Feedback)

Hello Nat,

Welcome to meet you!

Ah, so the confusion was NTGR homemade, not due to lack of sleep.

Some insight on the WBE700 vs WBE708 resp. the WBE700Y vs WBE708Y:

WBE708 and WBE708Y:

• come with a bundled Insight License for four years 
• can be alternatively managed by Netgear Engage (free)*

WBE700 and WBE700Y

• come with a bundled Insight License for 12 months (one year)

*This is part of the feature map I can't understand. Different from the NTGR Managed Switches, a special hardware model is required to get Engage support. Marketing message for Engage was always that it's free. Now SMB or AV customers have to buy a specific model, to get it included in the Engage management. This is causing confustion (and frustration, as some model variants can't be added to Engage) to the existing NTGR customer base.

Good part on all Insight Licensed units? It does not only bring the 5 days Netgear Sprint support to actively Insight managed APs (we had to explain this far to many times here in the NTGR Community), so NTGR listeded to the customers here  - it does also include the automatic extension of the factory warranty, resp. hardware support, and next business day replacement if required.

That's what old NTGR friends and Beta testers are here for. Admit, I have for a longer time not got the request for particiation on these newer SMB Wireless APs.

Regards,

-Kurt.
PS. I can be hired!
