Hi Steven, Good day. I apologize for the delay. We don't really provide refund however you've been very helpful and patient. I was securing a recommendation to process a refund request. I just got it and I'd be endorsing your case now to our customer service team. They'd be the one to process the refund. I would like to thank you for helping us in debugging this problem and we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience. "
Since that message on the support page dated 10/1/2020 I have heard zero from Netgear. I have used Netgear products for more than 15 years and currently own 2 of their routers, a range extender and several switches. This is how they treat loyal customers....an absolute disgrace!!!!
"“There is only one boss; the customer. And he can fire everybody in the company from the chairman on down, simply by spending his money somewhere else.”
So the saga continues, I was contacted by customer support (sic) for my receipt info late in the evening of 10-16-20.

On 10-17-20 I sent the requested scanned image of my store receipt.
A week went by.....crickets.....I looked at the support ticket and it had been closed!! (10-22-20)
I sent the info again......crickets.....
Sent again today???????
I cannot believe how they treat their customers!!!
Thanks for getting with customer support and opening a new case. Case #43666249
I just wanted to let you know that since you set up the case I have not heard anything from customer service. 2 weeks have passed since you opened this case and more than 7 months have passed since this whole mess started.
Is there anything you can do to push them along? It would be nice to have this wrapped up by the end of the month!!
So we are now into December and in spite of some intervention from one of the community moderators, there has still been no response from 'customer service'!!
A $600 product that Netgear refuses to stand behind!! They don't even have the common decency to respond.......pathetic!
