So far, so good.

...
> The only limitation is that the product returned must be similar or 
> higher spec to the Netgear product you’ve purchased, ...
Netgear will take back your old router, provided you're _not_ upgrading.

> Please note, the NETGEAR product purchased must be a similar or
> higher specified product than the one to be recycled.
