Who said that? $130 isn't a number I recognise from Gearhead, Netgear's support partner.
If it was from someone you found with a web search there is a good chance that it was a scam site that masquerades as Netgear. If that was the case, in future be careful to avoid these people. That can damage your technology as well as your bank balance.
Sorry, it was $139.00 for one year from Gearhead tech support.
