How can I get netgear, to deregister an original owner, so that I may take his place?
So, Sunday night, that’s what I did-I sent in my proof of purchase with a letter explaining who I was and why I was sending it- along with my serial number. . She had said on the phone, that it would be about 24 hours before I could assume it had been done. - AND, that I could call them back at that time, to finish troubleshooting my other problems
(which I haven’t even gotten to here!!!- but I don’t know if it’s even a real problem ; or if the network that the original owner put on there , is just not broadcasting. I mean, I can’t SEE it anywhere in the network list. I don’t even know if he DID set to the network (that I can’t see), because when I tried to hard reset it- I STILL couldn’t see it. And I did a 30-30- 30 reset, three separate times; as well as, having my son do it as well, twice.! The darn thing is unreset~able!
I’ve never had so many issues
and I don’t even have the thing hooked up yet.
But I have checked to see if I could register thus products serial number to my account, and I cannot. So literally, netgear has ignited the phone call - ignored the emails- and Im at the end of my wits.
I mean....
They ignored a customer email?! Who does that!?!
Any thoughts? I mean , my main goal here, is hoping that one person that made an earlier post, saying that the were trying to dereguster a product from their account, and they had a reply from someone that asked for the poster’s info, to be sent via PM, and they would ‘look into it’, for them.
If someone could do that here? For my case- Omgoodness - that’s all I need: just one person to look at this, that can actually do something. I have my receipt and serial number, and I am ready to go...,
Thanks.

Re: How can I get netgear, to deregister an original owner, so that I may take his place?
I can't help you with deregistering the product, somebody from NETGEAR will need to help you with that, but I can suggest that you try to connect via ethernet and go to routerlogin.net
Of course if the router has really not been reset for some reason, the original owner might have changed the default GUI access password.
It's very confusing that the factory reset using the button on the back wouldn't work.
I assume you're following the instructions here? https://kb.netgear.com/000053098/How-do-I-perform-a-factory-reset-on-my-Nighthawk-Pro-Gaming-router

yes... thankyou for helping. I did do that method, several times actually. Then I went for broke and tried the 30-30-30 method. Neither worked 😞
i had the ethernet cable in, for every single attemot described. I was unable to access the routerlogin.net page. I think this guy was super-security oriented. Nothing wrong with that. Its just not helping my super picky box either.. I mean, that reset button IS insane, i know.....but what can i do but ignore the strange crap, & roll with it, when im on a mission to continue to have hope......

____________________________________________________
So now, I ‘offically’, can seek support and warranty options, should I need them, from netgear. Im preparing to call tomorrow (business hours), just to be sure that all departments I’ll be forwarded to, are actually staffed, and open for business
(you never know- I’ve run into so many 24hr phone service companies, that don’t have 24 phone services for a few of their departments)
In the meantime, I’ll be looking at the article/link, sent by Netduma-Fraser (thank you, btw!).
Ill keep updating, for public. As, I hate it when you search for help with something, then find someone that has exactly what you have, but they never updated, so you can’t tell which applied workthrough, actually helped (or didn’t).
