| Re: Class action against Netgear - WGT624 hangs /drops $1.66 x the amount of affected units. When it comes to electronics there's two things to do. First look for reviews on it before you buy. Second thing is make sure to use it a lot after you buy it. If it doesn't suit your needs return it and exchange for a different product. Try a generic power adapter to see if it's power supply related. I haven't had any problems with any of my equipment. Lots of problems arise from what the user does and the environment it's on. I'm sure plenty of people have these units sitting in a direct beam of sunlight for half the day plugged into a power strip shoved up next to the heat register. Plenty of people probably have routers sitting on the dusty floor in their room with 3 days worth of dirty clothes piled on top of it then call it junk cause it overheats and locks up. Maybe they got their 2.4GHz cordless phone next to the wireless router on their desk. Or the microwave is 5 feet away from it. There's lots of factors in what can make equipment seem like junk, every product and all the vendors have consumer complaints so go ahead and run, but you can't hide. | |

| Re: Class action against Netgear - WGT624 hangs /d Yeah, but when a LinkSys with a stock adapter shoved under a pile of dirty clothes in a beam of sunlight with a power strip next to the heat register works great, then the apologists for Netgear start looking really bad.
This is about principle, and about training companies to never.do.this.again. | |

| Re: Class action against Netgear - WGT624 hangs /d Oh look - a call to sue from the US.
Please shoot me if we ever get as bad as this in the UK.
What ever happened to simply returning an item if it doesn't work.
Then, vowing never to buy anything by that company again?
But no....there must be some suing going on which will make the end customer no money at all.

This is about principle, and about training companies to never.do.this.again. Only two pieces of equipment which gave me grief were both built by Linksys. I won't touch them. Ever. SMC, Netgear, D-Link; I have or know people who have those units. Running forever.
Where's my Linksys lawsuit?
