Armor subscription transfer from broken ORBI to replacement ORBI PENDING
In January 2023 my Netgear Orbi RBR50 broke and I bought a replacement ORBI RBR50v2.
I had active subscription on Netgear ARMOR on my old broken ORBI and I contacted NETGEAR technical support to transfer my subscription from broken ORBI to a new ORBI. I spoke on the phone with customer support and got a confirmation that this will be done.
Now two months later, this ticket is still open. I would expect that such a simple transfer would take more than a hour to update it in the system. I have updated the ticket, but it seems that customer service is useless.
Does anyone else managed to transfer subscription from broken ORBI to new one in less time?
Update: Yesterday, March 21st, I got a call from Netgear informing that my ARMOR subscription has finally been transferred from broken ORBI to its replacement.
Anyway, I have now cancelled my automatic ARMOR subscription renewal and will start using Firewalla instead.

You'll need to contact NG support as this is beyond forum help:

Good Luck.
Yes, I have contacted the tech support back in January 2023. A ticket was filed and no luck ever since.
I just called the tech support again today. A guy based in Philippines mentioned that my case was escalated to "product support team" in 2/27/2023. I told him that I filed my ticket in January 13th. I asked why the case was escalated like more than one month - he could not answer.Update: Yesterday, March 21st, I got a call from Netgear informing that my ARMOR subscription has finally been transferred from broken ORBI to its replacement.
