I purchased this system 2 weeks ago, and nothing ...
I purchased this system 2 weeks ago, and nothing but trouble from the first day. It worked flawlessly for about 3 hours, then the trouble began. “System Off-line”. Rebooted the system, rebooted my router, refreshed the mobile app, refreshed the PC page. On-line, Off-line, On-line, Off-line…back and forth, every day. I believe I had one 24-hour period where it actually stayed On-line without an issue, but aside from that single day, it’s been absolutely maddening.
When you investigate trouble-shooting suggestions, you find that this issue has dogged this NETGEAR product from day one when they brought it to market…years ago! To date, they haven’t corrected the issue, which tells me that they aren’t interested in doing so. For what they charge for this system, it should work flawlessly, all day, every day…but that certainly isn’t the case.
So, today, I’m packing up this system and SENDING IT BACK! I don’t have the time or the patients to sit in front of my computer and run up and down the stairs to reboot my entire wireless system all day. Take my advice, find another alternative and don’t purchase this system; you’ll only find yourself pulling your hair out and wasting a lot of time trying to find a fix that doesn’t exist.
