Good morning Guys

I just bought a USED NetGear XR500 (i used the Netduma R1 since launch)
so i have some questions that i have to share them with you

1. What is my firs steps to do after i receive the XR500 as its used ?? Factory reset the router to clear out any previously used configurations or PWs
2. Do i need to update Netgear software and DumaOS ?? if yes how i can do this ?? Try setting up the router as is with out updating FW first. 
3. how can i factory reset XR500 ?? Press the reset button in back for 15 seconds then let go. Use a wired PC connected to the router to set it up. 
4. Until now i had connected me R1 as bridge through my modem .. the XR500 will be just plug and play or i need to change something else ?? Power OFF the modem for 30 seconds along with the XR router. Power ON the modem first and let it sync. Then power ON the XR router. 
5. Do you beleive that i will see huge difference from R1 to XR500 (i mean on wifi range, speed and DumaOS) ??YES

what else i need to know ???
