1 starThis company denied my access to the internet jeopardizes my home and livelihood because o work from home due to me not having internet. That is illegal to do a denial of secvice to the internet because you are seeking funds for security fees that you are not transparent about. If I would have known and was notified of the security features I would have not problem paying them but to stop my internet because of them. And have unsatisfactory tech support that lies and dont return phone calls is not rightNETGEAR

Hi ******* *******,

1 starI've purchased a Netgear series quad set for well over ******* dollars brand new in the box and went through all the warranty process when setting up and now have a broken/default Satellite under the one year warranty after 5 months! I've contacted the company now over a week ago and answered an submitted all the pictures they have asked for along with the item's serial number which will show warranty time on the unit do to the activation. The company Netgear still has no answer for me and has not tried at all to replace the faulty unit. The whole reason we buy these large units at this price is for the coverage on large properties! I have had no service in areas of my property for over a week with a warranty item I cant seem to get! I would like to recommend this company but the way an time frame for this company handling this warranty has been unacceptable especial for the prices we pay for this product. The part that makes it so inexcusable is the fact you will refurb the product an resell it bottom line so why am I the consumer left holding the bag along with my service, time , and patience being tested? Netgear I really hope you make this right an real soon! Case Number ********NETGEAR

1 starBought a new Netgear product and the wrong expiration date is on my Armor subscription. One would think this is a simple date change in a databaseNO! One email and three phone calls later and Im still being told someone will call me later today. Even when one gets a customer service *** that speaks English, the results are still dismal.NETGEAR

Had an additional phone call (4th call) last week. Service *** could not solve problem. Allegedly elevated to tech support. No contact since. This is a simple problem to solve but Netgear ***s are either incompetent or not empowered to solve problem. Customer left hanging. Again.Review fromEli C

1 starWell, this is interesting... I purchased a Netgear NIGHTHAWK CM2000 modem on July 18, 2024. The modem stopped working after two months which led to investigating the issue. I noticed the reset button was not working. In fact, the button didn't even click. ******** confirmed that my internet was tracking 100% with their modem during our perceived outage. Spectrum is certain our modem is experiencing issues. After checking the firmware on the modem, I verified that the firmware was up to date. The Modem was able to connect to the internet after 4 hours or cycling its connection, only to drop again the next day. I've tried to factory reset the modem by login into the Netgear Modem and the modem continues to fumble my strong internet signal. I contacted Netgear to process a refund for a defective product within 90 days. They just flat out declined my request and said we are not going to do this. They did offer an exchange that would have costed me $16 for shipping and with deadlines to return the *** that are sketchy, they come with penalties that cost extra money, $34 if I remember correctly. I'm never going to do business with Netgear again. They are a terrible company. I should have known better to check out BBB prior to switching brands. Just look below... Netgear has no shame and will not contact you.Review fromthomas h

1 starI had an old wifi extender that i had not used for a while. I bought a new router and then attempted to re-use the extender with my new wifi. I had lost the directions on how to set it up and decided to call Netgear for their advice. After explaining what i wanted to do, they checked my extender and said it was corrupted with malware and needed to be cleansed. They then offered to do this at the price of $500 for a 3 year service. They then asked if I was a senior or a veteran and lowered the cost to $250. I said "no". Bought another Netgear wifi extender at ******* and set it up per the included directions without any difficulty. Decided to try with my old extender using the same directions and that also worked perfectly. I now have extenders operating thoughout my home without any problems. Why didn't Netgear just tell me how to set up the extender in the first place instead of trying to rob me with a protection plan i DID NOT NEED?Review fromMike F

1 starI bought a Nighthawk Hot spot. After 11 months it has had trouble charging. For the last 2 weeks, I've jumped trough all the Netgear trouble shooting hoops, new cord, take the battery out, re start, endless emails, etc. Netgear is not willing to replace the unit and is delaying and pushing me past my one year manufacturer warranty. NOT HAPPY!!! ":(NETGEAR
