R7800 keeps resetting to default config after power cycle

Hi :) Seems I'm not the only one whose R7800 keeps forgetting its configuration and reverting to default settings every once in a while: https://community.netgear.com/t5/Nighthawk-WiFi-Routers/R780...

Thanks a lot for this information! :)

 

netgear

So how do I get my hardware replaced with one that works, without encountering additional (unknown) costs?

 

I am seriously disappointed of you! I still have warranty on the hardware, but when I started an RMA request, it pointed me to a phone number I had to call within 24 hours, telling me the call's not going to be for free - and not telling me any rates. The number written was even without a country code.

I bought Netgear, because I wanted quality and support - but it seems these times are over.
