Hi I just bought a brand new AX12 router, but i am unable to register the serial no. It keeps saying it is already registered to someone else. I purchased it sealed brand new. Please help.

  • You can check the status here https://www.netgear.com/mynetgear/registration/Product_WarrantyCheck.aspx

    that will give information when it was registered

     

     

    Also I would say look at the article and submit the issue with netgear section 

    "I am having trouble registering at or logging into my.netgear.com..."

    And be sure to send proof of purchase that will speed you're process up with this matter

      Visver, the serial number of the RAX120 is on an adhesive label on the router itself, as well as on the box in which the router was packaged. Is the serial number the same in both locations?
