Finding Netgear (service) partners
Our network has been growing step by step and while I can still manage it, it may come the time where collegues and I cannot cover all incidents where having partner can be useful.
I remember back in the days that Netgear had a partner locator, but these days Netgear's homepage homepage contains a couple of informations how to become a powershift partner, but I've been unable as a customer to find a partner. I've been surfing through the international and national homepage but haven't had any luck so far.
Any pointers?

Sorry about that. Thanks for the correction. I can inquire that information if we do have a directory of our powershift partners and I may need to check if it is possible to share it here in our community.

Hi @JohnC_V
Most companies with a partner program, even direct competitors of Netgear provide both a way to become a partner and for customers to locate a partner, sometimes even based on the focus of a partner. I can only imagine that your partners are interested to be found by potential customers, be it as reseller or as VAR providing additional services.
I clearly remember that like 5-6 years ago that there was an index and / or a map. It may not always be perfectly up-to-date but it was helpful.

@msi,
As per checking, the authorized reseller's list is the same list with our powershift partners.
I hope this would suffice.

Re: Finding Netgear (service) partners
Hi
Thanks for your reply, however I can spot a couple of issues:
- How can this list be located other than by this link you provided in the forums?
- The list only contains company names. There is no indication of a location, not even the country. To be honest: There is not much point for me to go through a document fo 70 (!) pages to locate a partner in my country
- The list only divides into Direct Resellers, Distributors and Indirect Resellers. Those companies could be plain "box movers" or actual service provides or networking engineering / consulting companies and there is no way to distinguish them based on that list.
TL;DR: Thanks for the link but that is neither helpful for me as customer, nor really helpful for your partners to be located by customers (as of writing).

@msi,

This list is located on our website. I understand your point here that it wasn't even specific on where it is located.
You may try to contact this number: (866) 480-2112 or send an email to uspowershift@netgear.com

Re: Finding Netgear (service) partners
Hi Carlo
Thanks, yes even so that document is quite hidden on the page - who would look for partners via the warranty and returns policy? 😉
Yes, I'll try to get in touch.
Meanwhile I hope that this could be discussed within Netgear how to make partners identifiable or how to better connect Netgear partners and customers. Tough this is a technical forum, having good ties with partners and customers all in all will help Netgear when comparing things with other vendors, even the most "lean" organized ones.
