Just purchased the Orbing Tri-band Mesh Wifi 6 System
I have the past Orbi 3000 series and was wondering if I should delete my Orbi app on my iPhone and start fresh by downloading it again. I did not know if past information would mess up my installation of the new Orbi 6000 series I just purchased.

If you are going to keep the old Orbi system, perhaps relocated to a different location, then there is an option in the Orbi "app" to do a "New System Setup". Then your account will have two Orbi systems to administer.
On the other hand, if the old Orbi is "going away", I would suggest creating a new Netgear account for the new system. It is the very devil to "unlink" a Netgear account from an Orbi.
p.s. Just personally, I always set up Netgear routers using the web interface, which provides access to Advanced options, such as assigning IP addresses to specific devices, customizing DNS, etc. etc.
Please post about this in the Orbi app forum:
