Armor vs BitDefender box2
First - when will Amor be available for Orbi (in the Jan 2018 press release it was promised before the Nighthawks) ?
Second, what is the difference in feature set between Armor and the Bitdefender Box2?

Hello AR247,
As stated in the press release:
"To be first introduced on the Nighthawk AC2300 Smart WiFi router (R7000P) later this quarter, NETGEAR Armor will be made available for the Orbi Whole Home WiFi system and the popular Nighthawk performance routers later in the year via firmware updates."

- The difference is the Box 2 exists. Much better security than the non-existent Armor for Orbi.
Bitdefender box 2 makes you put your wireless router into access point mode (bridged). Goodbye advanced router features.

Enjoy.
