Just purchased the Orbing Tri-band Mesh Wifi 6 System

I have the past Orbi 3000 series and was wondering if I should delete my Orbi app on my iPhone and start fresh by downloading it again.  I did not know if past information would mess up my installation of the new Orbi 6000 series I just purchased.

If you are going to keep the old Orbi system, perhaps relocated to a different location, then there is an option in the Orbi "app" to do a "New System Setup". Then your account will have two Orbi systems to administer.

 

On the other hand, if the old Orbi is "going away", I would suggest creating a new Netgear account for the new system.  It is the very devil to "unlink" a Netgear account from an Orbi.

 

p.s. Just personally, I always set up Netgear routers using the web interface, which provides access to Advanced options, such as assigning IP addresses to specific devices, customizing DNS, etc. etc.
