Netgear may insist that you register at MyNetgear, but legally it doesn't have a leg to stand on. Forcing users to jump through hoops won't work.
Registering on MyNetgear is not essential unless you use any of the features that use Netgear's cloud intermediary. So using Anywhere Access on the Nighthawk needs an account.
Anywhere Access will throw up its hands and complain if it sees that a device is already tied to a different email address and account.
But as you are talking about the registration process, go down that road rather than the "forget me" option, which may not won't achieve what you want anyway. That seems to be more for people who want to disappear from this community.
