Yes if anyone is having registration issues please PM me so I am able to take care of the issue.

You are the latest in a long line of people to have hit this brick wall. This is almost a daily complaint.
For some reason, lorry loads of Netgear devices reach buyers as "already registered". No one has ever got to the bottom of this – Netgear carefully avoids answering questions.
You have a couple of options, try to find a local contact number (it may be well hidden) or send a private message to one of the Netgear moderators here.
If you are really lucky, someone like DarrenM or ChristineT will take pity on you and step in.
