WN802T is it dead???
Hiya guys, Is my access point dead? I have a WN802T, which i have had for about 6 months. I came home today to do some work in the office. The Network connection light is out, the wireless light...
I hate to sound like a Netgear basher but I stopped buying Netgear equipment at work. As a matter of fact, I banned my staff from purchasing the company's products. Harsh, right? Well, consider this: 5 Netgears dead within 12 months. Not a single 3Com or Cisco didn't died on me. Before you blame power or the administrator here's all the information:
Hardware:
4 Netgear WN802T dead
1 Netgear router dead (I don't remember the model, but it was a recent one)
Installation sites:
3 x Work (WAP)
1 x Home (WAP)
1 x Customer site (router)
I think I have one more Netgear WN802T around in the building but I'm pretty sure I'll find it soon when my users complain that wireless isn't working. It's going to die for sure. I mean with such a bad quality record I can't believe that Netgear equipment is worth investing in.
I just remembered: my Gigabit Netgear switch died at home not that long ago. Sure, it got replaced but I expect my equipment to work. Is that too much?
