Did you try asking here for help with your problem? You might have more success.
I say that partly because this bit is worrying:
I was already tricked into buying the useless support ...
Too many people turn up here saying that they contacted "useless support" only to find that they were not talking to Netgear, but to some scam merchant they stumbled upon with a Google search.
Can Anyone please help?
Probably not.
This is essentially a user-to-user forum, with some input from a small band of Netgear techies who can handle technical stuff.
A better route to use to replace something that arrived faulty can be to go back to whoever sold it to you. In many countries that is the legal first port of call.
If you do want to see if you can get help with your device here, you might like to try the right section for Orbi systems:
