Netgear R6700 registered to someone else
I bought this used from someone else and can’t set it up without it being registered to me. So what are my options to throw it away now? It’s literally useless without being able to register to me :(

What tells you that?
As plemans says, you don't need to register something to use it. Just follow the instructions a step at a time.
There are some features that need a link to MyNetgear.
So what are you doing and where does it go wrong?
