Hmm. The unit bricked, and you let it sit around for 2 years until the warranty expires. Then you ask the community forum (not netgear) for help, and then you say that if we don't then it "weakens your desire". Why should I care? Like almost all posters here I don't work for Netgear. Just to confirm warranty status - warranty is 3 years. You are saying you purchased prior to Jan 7, 2012? I am wondering, since the unit was set up around October 2012 according to the thread. So there would have been at least 9 months between purchase and setup, which seems unusual.

I'm asking here because it's out of warranty. If you don't work for Netgear and don't care, I understand. :)

Yes, I purchase two units in 2010, one of them sat on the shelf for two years before I even unboxed it. That's my fault, not Netgears, as well. I agree this is highly unusual, but it is the case in this instance.
