I have been a Netgear purchaser for years. Recently I've bought 2 Netgear Nighthawk R7000 Routers and been given a hard time about sending my POP (Proof of Purchase) even though I'd already received a confirmation email registering the one I was calling to get support for. As well, when I went into ...

You want support? Netgear will give you 3 months (Yes, you read it correctly! THREE months). After that period you can't email, call them or chat with them. They'll just have other users answer your questions instead, in their "community". Real class there, dear folks at Netgear.

I have a difficult time leaving terrible reviews, but your customer service staff deserve it.

I'll be taking my hardware business to Motorola and Asus, as this company offers very little support and service for their products once they leave the shelves.

daeser1 is exactly correct. The router I purchased did not work right from the start and their middle-Eastern tech support guy was both rude and tried to charge me for service on a brand new product! I did get it functioning a couple of days later and it worked fantastically for a while. Now here we...

Netger causes your internet to fail when they update their software and only will assist to get you back on line if you pay them. What kind of a company is this to hold you hostage for getting on line unless you pay their ransom, after you have already paid to buy their product.

They want money just to help out, they are no more than scam artists. They make money off of forcing you to continue for their service. Absolutely worthless company. They wanted 90 dollars just to talk to the cable company. You will burn, I promise.
