Extended Warranty on my Orbi Mesh System

The Orbi Mesh SYSTEM I bought included a 750 Router and one satellite. This is the RBK752 SYSTEM. Netgear is very quick to sell things like ARMOR, Parental controls and Extended Warranties. I bought the extended warranty on my SYSTEM. However, Netgear is telling me the hardware extended warranty I bought only covers my Router, not the Satellite that was part of the SYSTEM I bought. This is no way to treat customers. Can some one help me? I feel cheated.

  • To update this issue, I received a call from Netgear today to apologize to me and make clear that both my router and satellite are covered by the extended warranty. Thanks to everyone who helped!

    I wasn't aware of that but I haven't purchased any of the extended warranties before. I wonder if thats correct as it does seem a bit sketchy.

    We've passed this onto NG support for review. The RBS should be covered.

      Mine is still not fixed. I really like Netgear products and got a good deal on mine. I have to agree they do not care about customers. I bought a 2 year extended warranty on my mesh system, which is a router and one satellite. They are telling me, hardware support is only on the router, not the satellite. What a weasel move. I will remember this. You see, treating customers right, will actually make your company more money in the end.

        So did you get this fixed? 

        Is the RBS still not working or needs replacing?
