      I spent over $1500 on a wireless orbi mesh system to replace my extremely reliable R9000. I switched my network over and immediately had issues with the router not being able to communicate with the internet. The issue is very clearly the router. The modem does not drop connectivity, the router just stops sharing the internet properly with the network.I purchased the device on July 30th and was having this issue repeatedly every day within 2 weeks. I contacted Netgear and they refused to help me return the device, even though I'm within the 30 day return period. I repeatedly asked for help returning it, but they kept trying to provide troubleshooting advice that did not make any sense at all. For example, I repeatedly told them the issue was for wired devices as well as wireless devices, but they provided directions for changing the wireless channel. To further confirm it was the new router, I switched back to my R9000, which uses identical settings, and everything worked on my network again. I did not experience any internet connectivity issues. The issue was very clearly isolated to the brand new router that I shelled out $1500 for.At first, I would have been happy with just a replacement of the router, but the responses I received from support continually illustrated their lack of knowledge and inability to actually help. I have no faith netgear can produce a functional product and just want to return it and go back to my previous R9000.

      Purchased a Netgear Nighthawk router a year ago after many months of functioning perfectly it just stopped working. It would allow devices to connect to it but would not connect to the internet. After extensive troubleshooting including following the steps on the company's own website and reaching out to my own isp I contacted Netgear. The company response was to ask some questions and then inform me that I would have to pay additional fees in the form of a "premium support plan" before any further communication could occur since I was not otherwise eligible for phone/email/chat support. No further communication was had despite my producing the desired information, proofs of purchase, and images of the item itself. This seems like an absolute scam to force people into paying for product insurance. This needs to be made more publicly visible.

      I purchased an Orbi network system in 2022, which came with 12 free months of Armor security. The Armor feature was never turned on by me and never used. It auto-renewed without my consent and I was charged $110.24. I could find no way within the mobile app for Orbi, or using the desktop interface on where to locate the subscription and disable it, so I opened a claim with Netgear on 7/25/2023 (claim # ********) asking that they disable the auto-renew and refund me the charge. This was within 24 hours of being charged. I never heard any reply from Netgear even though I went through their official support channels. I've added comments to the still-open support ticket asking for an update -- no reply. So I've contacted by credit card issuer and filed a fraudulent charge report with them. Exceptionally horrible customer service on **********************'s part.

      Dear ***/*****,I am writing to file a complaint against Netgear Inc. regarding their customer service and product quality.In 2016 October, my family purchased a Netgear Nighthawk X6 Router with model number R8000. It stopped working in 2021 due to overheat issues -- the router's temperature became hot then crushed. In 2021 December, my family purchased a Netgear Nighthawk Mesh WiFi 6 System with model number MR60, which includes one router and two satellites. However, one satellite stopped working in 2022. Recently, the other one frequently disconnected from the home network and eventually stop working last week.I tried to troubleshoot the problem by searching online but all my effort failed -- the satellites cannot synchronize with the base router anymore. At the same time, I found there are many similar complaints about Netgear routers' quality online. As a last resort, I called Netgear customer service but the representative told me our warranty had expired and the only thing they could offer is an expensive extended warranty contract.I believe that Netgear's products are not of good quality and their customer service is unsatisfactory. I would like to request that you investigate this matter and take appropriate action against Netgear. Additionally, I would like to request a full refund for the products I purchased.Thank you for your attention to this matter.Sincerely,***************

      Contacted Netgear since having a firmware on my mr6500 update on my hotspot it's not charging but shows it's charging. Netgear said to contact **** since it's through them. **** said they've received several complaints about the same issue. The battery shows charging but it's not charging. It's a Netgear issue and they didn't want to deal with it. This hotspot was very expensive to only last a year and a few days. I've tried all troubleshooting and nothing helped!! Companies try to blame other companies.

      AT&T sent me a brand new hotspot under warranty and if I find the same problem with the software update ruins the battery I'll take this matter further. AT&T told me they've received several complaints regarding the same issue with the battery only lasting a year and it constantly overheating. These units are very expensive to only last a year.

      I purchased a router 2 gears ago model # C6220 for a summer rental. Heres the netgear scam. When you reconnect your router for the next summer net gear allows a signal for 1 week then shuts down the connection! When you call they tell you that you have to sign up for a 3 month plan $49.99 in order for them to trouble shoot and turn your router back on!If this information was presented to me prior to my purchase I would not have purchased this router. What A SCAM. I think the public needs to be aware of this Scam. Actually this scam should not be legal! I bought the router in good faith! I didnt purchase the router so I would have to pay $50 every year! I can purchase e xfinity for cheaper price and not have to pay to trouble shoot!

      I've been unable to obtain a refund from ***** as the Courier, nor Netgear as the Shipper for a Netgear Orbi Mesh Router System I purchased from Netgear in March. I have not taken possession of the merchandise, which ***** claims to have delivered and I have not received. Netgear refuses to work with ***** to provide me a refund, claiming there is no policy in place to reimburse a customer if the item is not received from THEIR courier, *****. The claim from Netgear is that ***** is responsible for the packages once it is in their possession, while ***** claims Netgear has a reimbursement / Credit policy for such scenarios. Bewteen them both I have gotten nowhere and no refunds since March. I filed an complaint with BBB regarding this issue earlier this year with ***** as the company at issue, and it appears it was closed, so now I am doing so with Netgear as the company at fault for both the lack of refund and lack of policy and willingness to work with ***** to reimburse my loss. I included an attachment with details and screenshots of the matter. Please help me get a resolution to the $1034.41 I have lost.

      I am rejecting this response because: 

      As explained in the attachment to the complaint,

      1. **** is NOT my signature, what the ***** driver does as I have now witnessed first hand on a separate delivery since then, is indicate with a hand-held device that someone signed for a package, whether they did or not. It does not actually let you sign and provide a digital representation of that signature. The device generates the signature. It is NOT an actual customer signature, and does not actually require a signature  for the driver to generate it.

      Second, I work from home and have a doorbell. It was not rung and those were work hours when I was home. To say it is my responsibility to be available to receive a package while in the possession of YOUR courier who failed to deliver is unacceptable - especially given I was home.

      Third, ***** claims there is a Netgear lost package process I need to call Netgear to initiate and keeps telling me to reach out to Netgear, then when I do, Netgear sends me back to *****. This has been going on for MONTHS. 

      I need my money back.

      Sincerely,

      *************************

      Dear ******************,

      This is to acknowledge the response that you sent us.

      Unfortunately, we can't do anything about your order. Please keep in mind that we have no control over ***** once they have the package and able to guarantee delivery to your address. You may file a claim to ***** as they are the one who handle the package during shipment.

      As stated on *****; for future shipments, they encourage customers to register for ***** Delivery Manager . ***** Delivery Manager is a solution that gives residential package recipients more control over their deliveries, and allows them to receive alerts, request a hold for pickup at a convenient location, sign for packages online, provide delivery instructions, and request a vacation hold.

      Bought the Net Gear Router Nighhawk AX6 and after two months it stopped working. After several calls and being pushed into a $139.99 warranty that is useless. I finally was told that their employee put in the wrong email information but they would correct within 24 hours and that was three weeks ago. Today I was told the same thing except I cant get a replacement until the email issue is addressed. Worst customer service experience ever. I do not want the $139.99 warranty that they shouldnt be selling to anyone. I need help and I need it now.
