Dear Netgear
I am running into this problem, a problem that is easily reproducible, major, and was first reported almost five months ago. Seriously?
Environment:
MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2017, Four Thunderbolt 3 Ports)
macOS Mojave 10.14.3
Yup. Welcome to the "Netgear Community."
Understand Netgear is phasing out this feature - at least it's absence of the ReadyShare USB Print feature from the bleeding edge RAX80 (AX8) and RAX120 (AX12) does confirm this impression. Is this another dead end ChristineT Christian_R ? Fixing this should take days, not more than half a year. If this is the"new Netgear" than good night.
That would be disappointing and a very good reason to go with a different manufacturer. Developers need to budget for system-change-related updates to their utilites, otherwise they're just planning for the product to become obsolete. Rewarding such planning by buying another product from them is the worst message we can send as consumers.
And yes, as someone with decades of software development under his belt, I can confirm that a reasonably skilled OSX developer should be able to do such an update in days, not months.
Just got off the phone with Netgear "support". Suffice it to say I will not be buying any more Netgear products. As to the software, send me and NDA and, after I execute it, the source. I'd rather do that than ever repeat the experience I just had. Beyond the general and truly grotesque incompetence (it took my 10 minutes on the phone with a supervisor to convince him to find out what the problem was or even let me tell him) there was the "it's out of warranty" spiel.
I don't know what's going on in Netgear land but it's clearly not good.
I've finally decided to run everything in via pfSense and just use ORBI as an AP. At least then I can control what needs to be controlled and fix things if they break. I don't envy anyone without deep technical know how who face a Netgear problem.
