    Hi Stoph70 , as far as I know, Armor is only available in router mode.

        I did some research within this community but cannot seem to find alot of reviews/opinions on the Armor services

         

        Does anyone following this thread have any experience with Armor? I'm coming from the ASUS ecosystem and looks to be very simliair to their AiProtection(ie Trend Micro) implementation which comes free of charge with the router purchase. Just trying to justify paying 69usd annually for something that many vendors provide for free. Am I missing some addtional capability that separates armor's subscription from other products?
