Have you tried calling them? Another option is to directly request an RMA from my.netgear.com ("replace my defective product" on https://www.netgear.com/mynetgear/portal/myOnlineTicket.aspx)
You can also try sending an email to customer.service@netgear.com.
Also, have you checked the warranty status on your RN316? Might be good to confirm that it is still covered before you reach out again to support.

Hello,
i tried request RMA from my.netgear.com ("replace my defective product") and i get respose with NO case number (as is shown on 1st entry of this conversation). Netgear messed up my unit registration so now my.netgear.com (and repairing registrations is not done after nearly a year from reporting to them) telling me that i have NO HW warranty (I bought RN316 2017/12) Funny.
Problem on my RN316 is thar front touch panel is freezing sometimes. Stay lit and not accepting any touch. Seems like no big problem, but in this case i need to go to Boot menu. I get into the boot menu...and panel is lit and unresponsive. I tried more than 10 time. no help. i waited about an hour in bootmenu, no help. So with unresponsive touch panel i am unable ti use boot menu. Not a good options.
i try to write to the Netgear e-mail. I was hoping that someone from netgear may to chweck if there is some case no for me or not.
