Support Escalation for Case 42077375

I've called twice and haven't gotten a clear answer either time and whether it's a issue with english comprehension or something else...I'm at the point of complete frustration and want this handled.  

I have a dead router that essentially showed up DOA.  No, it wasn't DOA but I never got it fully installed because the Firmware update bricked the device. I've got an RMA and after some prying I finally was told that I have to send it in, on my dime, to get this resolved.  

I have left messages and I have gotten no response and while I would understand the need under normal support scenarios, I think it's HIGHLY unfair to ask someone to put another $55 to ship the package ground and then wait for weeks until Netgear sends me a replacement. Netgear should ship me a replacement and include a paid shipping label to return this defective unit since their cost is FAR LESS than what I would have to pay to ship it. Besides it's the right thing to do. I need this to get resolved one way or the other and I really don't want to have to go through the Indian support system, just to get more non information.

It is probably time to involve one of the forum moderators, by sending a private message to them.  @Blanca_O is one of the moderators.  @Dustin_V is another.

 

Most of us who participate in this forum do not work for Netgear and have no direct link to anyone who does.
