Re: Returning Faulty Netgear Wireless N Router

When I reverted back to my old trusted Linksys was getting 30 - 40MB. Calling support they pasted me to Netgear who after a bit of playing with settings want me to return for a replacement.

Has anybody else had any problems?

Also a bit irritated that either I needed to pay £15 to have a new one delivered and swapped or I can post off to Essex and then a replacement will be sent out. I may speak to VM about this again as surely if they supplied something faulty then I should not be out of pocket?
It seems everyone is saying the router and modem are eqipment of virgin media surely if this is so then they should sort all this out for you
