AC1900
So, I bought this router 2 years ago and registered it under my account. I forgot my security questions and had to factory reset my modem. Now I'm trying to register the router under my account since...

1. you don't need to register them to use them. they can be used without being registered.
2. be specific with device and model numbers. you jump from router to modem to extender. Plus you're using ac1900 or triband router as a model. it isn't, its a speed or capability. So what devices do you have? look at the label for the model number.
if you go to netgear.com/support/ and type in your actual model number, you get install guides. These are key for setting up new devices. Like I said, they don't need to be registered to use. Also, setup tends to go the most smooth when you're hardwired into a device.
