Re: nighthawk cax80

Woke up this morning to no internet connection. Called Netgear for support for a Nighthawk CAx80 which I purchased 2 years ago for $500.00 and was told that I had top pay an additional $100-200 for troubleshooting the unit. I think this is a rip off. I can't understand paying $500.00 for something that only lasted 2 years. Netgear should be ashamed of themselves. I will leave a bad review on every platform I know about Netgear.

I haven't found a company yet that will replace a device that's a year out of warranty.

Yes they are expensive but there is always the risk of failure. Its why companies offer extended warranties or 3rd party warranties.

Current setup: CM2000-> RBKE963B-> Trendnet TEG-S380-> GS716T-> pi-hole
also in AP setup: RAXE500->EAX80

worst customer service ever. Spent an hour on the phone with a bunch of clowns that only tried to extract money out of me and didn't care about addressing my issues with the CAX80 which is totally bricked. I think we're in class action territory now...
