You do not need to go through all that registering process if you simply want to set up the Orbi on your own network.
To remove any settings for network name or password for the previous owner's wifi, you just need to factory reset the device and go through the setup process described in the documentation. The reset will put everything back to the defaults that are on the label on the bottom.
There is support for the Orbi WiFi System, including a manual, somewhere at the end of this link:
>>>> Orbi RBK50 | WiFi System | NETGEAR Support <<<<
The easiest way to set this up is probably to use the web browser, as described in the Quick Start Guide.
When the thing is working, you might get help with registering it to your account from one of the Netgear team here.

Re: Installation
Ok, What is the Manufacturer and model # of the modem the Orbi is connected too? There maybe a modem box near by that the Orbi is connected to, or may there is just a wall outlet where your plugging the Orbi base into the wall?

Re: Installation
Glad that worked out.
You might now want to start the process of getting the thing registered to you.
Best start a new discussion for that. Then we can point it at the people here who manage those things.
First create a MyNetgear account, if you haven't got one already.
You will need that to use some of the add on features of your Orbi, such a remote access. But for day to day use you don't need it.
