My XR500 died, and I'm trying to get an RMA done. The problem is, Neatgear's website is telling me it was purchased months before it was, and is out of warranty. I have the proof of purchase from Amazon, and have uploaded it to my account. The issue I'm having is that when I call in, it says my estimated wait time to talk to a representative is 0 minutes. It says this several times over the course of about 15 minutes, then tells me it's gone up to something like an estimated 6,677. I'm supposed to call and give a ticket number, but that number expires within 24 hours of its issuance, at which point it closes the issue. What can I do?

Re: XR500 Warranty Woes
I still haven't heard anything. The warranty issue was escalated on 3/19, but it's been radio silence since. I'll update this post with any progress.

Re: XR500 Warranty Woes
I did that a couple days ago, but unfortunately have yet to hear back. Hopefully he'll reply in the next couple of days.

Re: XR500 Warranty Woes
I still haven't heard anything from @DarrenM or anyone else. I know these are interesting times we're in, but I also don't want my actual warranty period to expire in a couple weeks before I can get this taken care of. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Re: XR500 Warranty Woes
I received an automated message that a case was created, but that was over a week ago. I hope you're right about them taking into consideration the evidence that I've repeatedly tried. I do appreciate you always replying to help me out.

Re: XR500 Warranty Woes
Well, it's been over a month and my warranty has now officially expired. @Netduma-Fraser tried his best to help me out, but I couldn't get Netgear on the phone, over email, or here after private messaging @DarrenM. I understand things are running slower due to Covid-19, but over a month with no resolution as my warranty expires, and with no help on the horizon is unacceptable business practice.

Re: XR500 Warranty Woes
I just wanted to update everyone that I have yet to hear anything from Netgear all this time later. Consider this before doing future business with them. I certainly won't ever again.

Re: XR500 Warranty Woes
I know you tried, but I guess there's only so much you can do as a 3rd party. Thanks again @Netduma-Fraser
