Yes tmac11, it seems you buy their products & then Netgear appears to do nothing about any issues you bring up - no explanation either, no advice, not even if they "get it". Feels like they're just shuffling papers. In business, communication is key & no matter how big a company is they can be brought down if they continue to ignore their customer base.
I've got an R8500 (expensive) & had an R7000 previously. Essentially the same software but no changes still after a long time. Each firmware revision has the same Traffic Meter issue of limited input which cannot accommodate the higher monthly limits offered by more & more ISP's. They added a new firmware for the R8500 just recently & STILL no change to the Traffic Meter.
It can't be THAT difficult to fix. The function is already there, at the very least they could add 2 numerical spaces to allow TB input or add another box where you can input TB's instead of GB's.
Hopefully they'll do it sooner than later. But if we all pipe up perhaps it'll be sooner as companies don't react until they are made to most of the time. Hard to find ones that are pro-active.
Cheers!
