My receipt says that rebate should be received within 8 weeks. It's now been over 12 weeks and no rebate has be sent out. I contacted their rebate center and was told that they had processed the rebate and all was fine, a check would be mailed out in Feburary. When asked about the delay, they said that they didn't receive the rebate until the end of Nov. even though I mailed it in mid-Oct. I then told them that even if they hadn't received it until Nov., getting the rebate in Feb. was still way over their statement on the rebate form. I was then told that I'd probably receive it sooner than Feb. anyway. Don't companies get it??? Don't play these games, I currently have over $500 in rebates out there from companies and they are ALL playing this stupid game. Please rebate offering companies get your houses in order, teach your reps not to read from scripted responses, and quit lying to us! My problem with NetGear is their rebates.

I just bought a Netgear Router last week and I had it up and running in about two minutes. And it has worked flawlessly since I set it up. And registration was just as simple. I am shocked to read your post. Especially the registeration part - Netgear had by far one of the easiest registrations I have dealt with in recent memory. I had no problem getting the product working and no problem registering and I did both in under five minutes. It took me longer to explore the admin tool and upload the beta firmware. I just thought I would post the other side of the coin, instead of this Netgear sucks propeganda. I really don’t what these problems are.
