Bought my Orbi secondhand, need to register it as mine

Question

So just got my Orbi and need to register it under my own info. Is there a work around if I contact the seller and they don't do anything? How can I prove that I own it now and can therefore register it to me and input my own wifi info?

You don't need to register it to set it up or use it.&nbsp;It mainly helps for using support or notices for firmware updates.&nbsp;https://kb.netgear.com/1160/NETGEAR-Product-Registration-FAQ

and if you do have the CBR40, It'll need to be setup with your ISP like any other modem.&nbsp;
