Re-add existing volume after RN10400 OS reinstall
Hello,
Our RN10400 recently locked up after a firmware update. I was unable to access anything (smb)/(http) so I did the OS reinstall to get the box up and running again.
I can now logi...

Hi Robin_Ryde
There's BTRFS error on the logs and this needs escalation, Support will check if it can be mounted or needs recovery.
You can purchase the Pay-Per-Incident contract once you have contacted NETGEAR Support.

Hi, Thanks for checking on that for me. I will go down that route.

Hi again.
On my.netgear.com I am given 2 options for UK support. GearHeadUK and OnCall 24x7; which one do I need?
Thanks,
Robin.

You don't want gearhead.
Try going into "my support" and then choosing "contact support" and "get help on my netgear product".

I purchased a support contract via the web portal (yesterday) but it still won't allow me to create a ticket or give me a phone number?
On the 'My Products' page, it still has red 'X's for Phone/Chat/Email, but on the 'My Service Contracts' page it shows I have OnCall24x7 linked to that serial.
If I go through the whole 'My Support' wizard it just tells me to talk to the forum.
At a bit of a loss on this one now. :smileysad:

Did you try "get help on my netgear product"?
- Robin_RydeJun 08, 2018Aspirant
Thanks for the reply.
I tried that, it just says I don't have support and should ask the forums :smileyfrustrated:

Any clues on what to do now? I've paid for support but I cannot ring or email them?!

I've reached out to some Netgear folks on this, hopefully it will be resolved soon.

I found a number for Netgear Corp UK and that had the number for Tech support, not sure what all the secrecy is about....
After going through and creating a case, I have been told it's £155 for 'initial diagnostics' and then an hourly £135 rate for the data recovery. We already paid £68? (I never actually got the email receipt) for OnCall24x7 and the additional costs seem to be adding up really fast. For something that came out of a software fault (confirmed by tech support) after a firmware update. I am not all that impressed.
Ideally we would like a refund on the OnCall24x7 but there doesn't seem to be a straightforward way to complain. It seems odd that I keep being redirected to the forum...doesn't seem right that other users should be putting up with my disgruntledness.

It sounds like they are saying you need their data recovery service (which isn't included in their regular support).
