Joke support

Whoa I have never been so frustrated trying to find a email to contact a company. Ridicously, anyways, Thanks for nothing Netgear I don't know whats wrong with this router but it seems to be unable to give me a steady internet connection which for the price tag is kind of astonishing. Maybe do some more work before pushing something seems I'm not the only one with issues. Please work on the customer support both with your "techs" and you web base.

      Model (Recommended - Helps the community give the best answers)
      Body (Include additional detail including model version, firmware, OS and environment where relevant.)

      The questions are there for a good reason.

      feed in the model number (find it on the label on the device) and get all the documentation for your hardware.

        I'm returning it because it proves to be unreliable and I can't find any guides to manage the settings to rectify the connection issue. My old router works prefectly fine so I know it isn't the ISP. Inconsistent network from a $400 dollar router out of the box. What the flip
