Yeah, its pretty amazing that one of my favorite hardware vendors has now become a new hardware pushing machine that forgets that they have abandoned loyal customers. I understand the need to push new products, but I've had this product for less then a year, and I refuse to purchase a new router when this fits my needs. I've purchased Netgear products for the better part of 5-6 years. Not just for myself, but for people that I've helped setup their home networks. I can not in good conscience do that anymore because this experience has left a sour taste in my mouth. I'm looking to purchase an AX Router in the near future, and it will not be NETGEAR!!
