How? A number you found with a web search? If so, that wasn't Netgear.

The KB entry looks incomplete to me.
The process does start here in most markets:
Head to https://my.netgear.com -> [My Support] -> Replace my defective product
Netgear does provide a case number and a phone number you have to call where they will do some Q&A to confirm the device need a replacement. Takes typically a minute or two to get the RMA process rolling.
There is no need to subscribe any additional contract or support service to claim your hardware warranty.

If that is the case, then I'll see if we can poke someone at Netgear into action.
