Doesn't work anymore after 6 months

I am a direct subtitles host. I autograph live tv shows. I bought it when I needed to start working from home. The first NETGREAR sent did not work immediately. Maybe it should have been a token but they sent me a new one to try. The second worked well for 6 months in our very small 1000 square meter. feet and then ruined the bed. The green indicators blinked and kept burning, but the Internet was not distributed via the modem itself, via cable or Wi-Fi. I've factory reset the modem a couple of times and it worked for a moment (2, 5, 10 minutes) only to eventually mess it up while I was live with closed captioned TV shows. Not good. In the end after trying to get it to work myself (because there is no support from NETGEAR even though I paid $300 for the item) I got nothing but a constant red light and no modem interaction at all. NETGEAR says it's a hardware defect, and if you pay them more money to test it, they'll prove it and send you a new modem. Yes, no, I don't want to pay you more money to confirm it's a piece of junk just for you to give me a new piece of unreliable junk. pay $, in which case they will send you an equally unreliable product.

Pros
  • Everything is fine!
Cons
  • Vulgarity
