I am waiting for them to set the wheels in motion if they wish... do you honestly think they will after their whitewashing... publicity alone will kill them...i am not holding my breath... so to call me a thief is unacceptable....I simply took a stand...

What publicity will kill them? Bad reviews for companies for such issues are written all the time... nothing really remarkable about your case. If they can find you I think they will and this might be the most expensive router you ever bought ;) Is it visible from the outside of the router that somebody opened it up? If it is not then you can hope that nobody will notice and that it will just be discarded as a faulty unit when the next client returns it. Or maybe they will suspect the next client as the one who did the modification? :?


Well sotos they have the details...time will tell... think about it the retail price $122, take away tax retail profit, shipping costs, that will put the cost in vicinity of under $50...and I would not be the first one doing it...

I am armed with their own fucking admission of willing to help, in a way of a safeguard...I just simply counter sue... how much will they waste coming after you?... it will be in the thousands and for what $50... :lol: ...are you kidding me... legislation provides safeguard for both the manufacturer and consumer....

Again I stress I am simply stating I took a stand...thats all... its not as if i walked into a shop and stole...I wrote them a lengthy letter after 3 days of the event... and took action after 3 days of whitewashing me... how are they going explain this to the judge?..6 days later an no action..after today if I do not hear from them it will be Monday...9days after the event...I guess this specialist internet company can argue it takes time train their pigeons... yes I and the judge can see their point of view....I better start preparing my legal case.... :lol:

I don't know how the laws are over there but if you lose the case wouldn't you be paying those 1000s? Such companies have legal departments that deal with such issues so not a big trouble for them. And it seems you are making it really easy for them to prove that you are guilty... maybe easier than if you actually went to the shop, took something and run with it... and we already know that no shop or company would take no action because the item cost was low... otherwise they would be encouraging people to steal from them! And you have nothing to counter sue ... what you say might be valid as a bad review for their customer care but they did nothing illegal ... you did!

Easy as pie mate! I would get on the net and type…

“Netgear router fails BIOS flash”

or

“Netgear WNDR3700v1 fails BIOS flash”

..to see what everyone else has done about it and I would’ve found the solution in 3-4 minutes which is the exact links I posted you. :wink:

You just don’t have the experience of a techie who knows how to quickly and easily help himself.

And btw, a techie NEVER EVER contacts customer support… that’s so gay! :lol:

The whole point of being a techie is because you LOVE digital things getting fucked up so you can un-fuck them… it’s all about the challenge! :)

your links will not work...only talk about upgrading and the unbricking will not work... they do not explain how to unbrick properly...lets see how you do an unbricking...that's the million dollar question...come on boys lets see who the gays are here...
GR do you actually think I did not try the master reset under the router?...

BTW I grabbed an old router and actually did it...its not as the links describes...I want a step by step instructions...please provide them and do not be smart asses...are you up for the challenge?...

and erol put your money where your mouth or for eternity shut the fuck up...

on the other hand if you ask me nicely I will share this information with your for future reference...but you both need to stop as if you fucking know anything...

Hey dickhead…

1. Always flash hard wired. (not wireless)
2. Always know how to do a cold reset before fiddling with it.
3. Always remember that if you hold down the on/off button for 10-20 seconds the board’s capacitors will fully discharge and you have a better chance of a successful cold reset.
4. Always remember that Routers have a much more powerful factory password that you may be able to get on the net.

All these little things make the difference between a real techie and an Australian sheep-shagging gay boy! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Here’s another one slacker…

If a device can store BIOS information then it *must* have a battery on the board of some sort.

Find it, remove it and restart it so it goes back to factory default.
