    Netgear has set up a community forum specifically for the Orbi AC products. Most of the people who watch that forum are more likely to have experience with Orbi and know how to work it better than those of us who follow this router forum. Might be more likely to find someone who has a solution if the question is posted there:

    Can I simply buy a secondhand satellite and add it to my system with no previous owner having access to it remotely?

    Many thanks
