CAX80 Died after 9 months of use

My GF's CAX80 dies after exactly 9 months of use.  

 

When we came home from breakfast this morning, only the power LED was lit.  I tried all of the reset options mentioned in other threads, and none of them worked.

 

I have sent a PM asking for help, as suggested in another thread.

 

I am really disappointed that a product that cost almost $400, doesn't even work for a full year, without having a significant problem.

You'll need to wait for the moderators to contact you or open up a support ticket here:

https://my.netgear.com/support/contact.aspx

 

Nothing else we can help with here in the forums.

 

Good luck.

I did as suggested, and after sending me a RMA link, NetGear cancelled my case and says they will not honor the warranty because the unit was not purchased from an authorized reseller.  I bought it from Amazon, and it is still within the 12 month warranty period.

 

I am out almost $400, because NetGear refuses to properly honor their warranty.

Will pass this onto NG.

I just received a followup, and was issued yet another RMA number.  I have completed the form, and send the unit off to the facility in TN.

 

Hopefully this works.
