I purchased this equipment exactly 15 months ago. Used it 3 months moved and decided to try the new ISP equipment. Two (2) months ago I decided to go back to using my Netgear router Sunday it stopped working. Called support today to troubleshoot and he said it has stopped working and my warranty expired in April. I basically uses this product less than 6 months and now it's dead and no help could be provided. I feel after paying this much for a product the life of the product should be longer than 5 months. I thought Netgear was a good product. I guess I was wrong. Siddharth case#44795681 said he would have a manager call me back. Hopefully that will happen. I will update when it does.

You moved house. You changed your Internet service provider, did you reset your R6230 and set it up from scratch? It needs to forget stuff learned from the old ISP and whatever hardware you used there. (It isn't like moving house and plugging in the old light bulbs.)
You also changed the router behind whatever you use to connect to the ISP – see the question from @plemans about your modem – so that also has to be set up to work with the "new" router.

That's the rules. You bought a bottom of the range router. (It doesn't even qualify for the Nighthawk tag.) Netgear gives free support for 90 days and a hardware warranty for a year. (Longer in some countries.) But you can get free help here. Just tell people what you are doing and where things go wrong.
You could also get more help if you started in the right place.
You have posted your message in the section of this community given over to Apps and Services. You might get more help, and find earlier questions and answers specific to your device, in the appropriate section for your hardware. That's probably here:
