Cannot disable Netgear Armor
Cannot disable Netgear Armor in Orbi App.
Error message: "process is taking too long (more than 60 secs), Try again!!"
This is very frustrating, because its preventing me from getting tasks done online.
I've looked at other threads to no avail. People have mentioned reseting the router, but for me that is not an option.
Could use some support.
-Thanks.

Then that's not a cable modem; it's a cable modem+router, you are
cascading two routers, and the resulting "double NAT" is defeating your
attempts at port forwarding (on the inner router).

Because it's a modem+router, not a simple modem.
With only one NAT router, this stuff could work (with changes). The
obvious choices are (1) disable the router in the cable modem+router,
making it a modem-only, and use the R6300 as the router; or (2) do the
port forwarding on the router of the cable modem+router, in which case,
it might be better to configure the R6300 as a wireless access point.

I can believe that it worked if you had one router, and not two
routers. Now that you have two routers, you're approximately doomed,
until you return to an arrangement with only one router.
So, nothing to do with any DHCP server anywhere. (Although, a
one-router/one-subnet configuration may change your DHCP server
requirements from what they are now to something simpler.)
