NetGear review: Wireless router r8000p firmware update failure and no customer service

A
Author of the review
7:37 pm UTC

The firmware update on the R8000P wireless router doesn't work and will not update. Tried all methods and spent hours with incompetent tech reps at Netgear. Even tried Geek Squad and with their capability they came to the conclusion that Netgear has a major problem. Netgear has not followed up on any of the commitments and/or case(s).
