I have an old D-Link switch, DGS-2205, that stops working suddenly. I check the Limited Lifetime Warranty file on its support page. It states "Hardware: For as long as the original customer/end user owns the product, or five (5) years after product discontinuance, whichever occurs first."
I opened a case to RMA this switch. The support person repeatedly says "the free support for this product has ended on 2/5/2017. You may visit support.dlink.com or contact Premium Support hotline number 888 814 2882 for further assistance." and refuses to provide further information.
I am wondering how do I find out if this switch is still under warranty? Do I have to use the Premium Support hotline to get RMA?
