replaced router reusable?
Waiting to purchase new AX router "coming soon", which will replace current router.
Speaking 'techno-inept', what ALL does it take to:
1. erase existence of current router just before installing new AX?
2. how can the current one be 'reused' once new one delivered?
In other words, I want to give it to daughter+family; what steps
do I/she follow to 'pass it on' to her & install (they're still using a 'N')?
If its factory reset, the new user would just need to follow the install guide.

You will just need to hold the reset button for 10+ seconds on the router. Then they would be able to set the router up like new.

Excellent, thanks DarrenM,
Now, THAT clears the router...how do I erase all (current) Netgear files? Genie? Etc?
(assume all SHE will do is connect her 'new' router and Genie will take from there & install)?
