Couple quick questions please:
(1) should I set up new Orbi account for the new gear since my existing account (and the Orbi app) are associated with my old Orbi System? Is that less problematic than trying to remove gear and add new router and sat to existing account?.. and last:
(2) if I want to sell or give away my existing Orbi System , how do I detach it from my registration and account so that new user can configure?
Thanks much!
