The way to do this is the reverse process of registering.
Go here:
Login to your account. This will list your registered devices.
Click the device you want to "lose" and scroll down to the bottom and find the well hidden link: Unregister Product
Just another user with time on their hands.

This is what I've done already and it just says that this product cannot be unregistered.because it has active services / contracts against it, which I have no way of cancelling. Netgear make this ridiculously complex for such a simple request.
