    Hi, 

     

    I downloaded the android app on my smartphone and were able to create an DNS account (you will nee upper case, number, lower case and special symbol).

    Then back on the computer and log in the newly created account.

     

    good luck

    if you have a second hand netgear, you may also need to ask them to deregister the device from the old owner account.
