Ordered AC4000 but received AC3200 (twice)

I ordered an X6S AC4000 R8000P router from newegg, but I received an X6 AC3200 R8000.  I returned that for an exchange, and newegg sent another AC3200!  I noticed the barcode sticker on the packaging says R8000P even though the box says R8000. Are they essentially the same router?

Model: R8000P|Nighthawk X6S AC4000 Tri Band WiFi Router

No, not the same.

 

Reads to me like something went badly wrong with packaging of the what should be R8000P but with R8000 in the box for the lot manufactured for Newegg. Of course, Newegg logistics does trust the labels on the packaging ...

 

@Christian_R that's some fun job to you to start with - I would immediately notify Newegg to start with, for checking the inventory and what's in the box before shipping ... 8-)

Hello @tscbpl ,

 

This is a really unique issue! We are investigating it from our side to see where the breakdown could be! It may take a bit to get to the bottom of this issue but I'll get back to you once I have an update for you.

 

Can you please private message me with  your serial number? We should have a way to determine what model your unit is based on that information.

 

Kind Regards,

Christine

For the investigation, a comparison of the labels it says either R8000 or R8000P and barcodes of serial and MAC on the box and the router (must be the same on the box and the device) would help. As well, when accessing the router user interface, it should show if it's an R8000 or an R8000P model. In that case, only the colur wrap might br wrong. Sorry, I forgot to write this before.

Hi NGTeam, I sent an email to netgearteam@netgear.com but haven't received any reply.  Is there more info needed?

Thanks

I haven't received any updates from the netgear team so I am returning the router to newegg.  Thanks.

Hello @tscbpl ,

 

I'm so sorry for the delay! I know we were tracking now our reps at Newegg to get this sorted out. One question came up, do you know if this was directly from Newegg or from a marketplace reseller?

 

I realize you may have already returned the unit but I'd greatly appreciate knowing where to continue to pursue this issue internally.

 

Kind Regards,

Christine T

Hi Christine,

 

I appreciate the follow up (already returned the router).  Thanks anyway for your help during the process.  It was from a marketplace seller, but Newegg was the one handling the actual logistics.
