I somehow talked myself into buying another netgear product.
Serious regrets.

What dont you like about Netgear products? Their routers seem solid.
Nope. Not under any sort of real load. My last was $300 and died within six months. This has been consistent across 4-5 models.
Their Wi-Fi dongles and other equipment similarly have issues. Right now I am dealing with a “high end” Wi-Fi dongle that has driver issues in both windows and Linux (documented online) where it just. stops. working. until unplugged and replugged.
I would avoid them like the plague.
