netgear is a TERRIBLE brand. - eviltoast

We have a GS108Ev3 and a Nighthawk X6 R8000.

GS108Ev3 has this famous 80-port 10Mbps issue, completely useless.

Today our X6 R8000 broke down. I factory reset it, then the 192.168.1.1 web page keeps redir to https://www.routerlogin.com/start.htm, which is 404. now it is a electricity wasting brick. hopeless crap.

I’ll fire any employee buys netgear again.

    I will never buy Netgear again, but for a slightly different reason. I have one of their four-bay NAS units. It has always worked well, but Netgear discontinued sales and support. I can understand them choosing to discontinue manufacturing and sales, as I am also a business owner. But, not supporting and not even providing a paid facility for secure cloud access is frustrating to say the least. On top of that, aside from a notice on their web site, there was no communication with customers.
