I will never own or use another Netgear product in my lifetime and will be telling my experience with your compl,any on Social media.

I feel your frustration but wait, it gets worse... good luck finding anyone who cares or can do anything about it

tillford If you didn't actually contact netgear support, there isn't anything to be done about it.
None of your information matched up to what netgear charges for support and there a bunch of scam/con sites that people get directed to if they google support.
If you paid for support and they were sketchy, dispute the charge with your CC.
