I did the 443 and 80 ports, but still not getting consistent performance. I have firmware V3.2.18.1 and I have also utilized openDNS as well to try and help. I have tried turning Armor on and off. Is there something I am missing. Windows 10 computer on explorer seems fine, Roku TV seems fine. iPhone IS NOT lol. Help please.
The suggested solution is to reset the Orbi system and not turn Armor on, but this is not a satisfactory solution in my view, as I purchased a paid subscription to Armor for the protection it claims to provide.
My Orbi System is an RBR50 router, with two RBS50 satelites connected. Firmware is the latest version V 2.5.1.16.

Same here, still blocking issues.
The suggested solution: reset everything en reinstall router and satellites resulted in a further problem: not able to download firmware. Skipped that, but the problem remains: blocked apps are banking, google (including google search!) and other apps that use some blocking data.
I have tried altering DNS, IP and other methods, but still I have to switch to cellular to check my Gmail, bankaccount and webcams.
All other devices and apps are working fine, iPhones and iPads excluded.
WHY O WHY is this not easy to solve? Please let me know...getting desperate.

Netgear has set up a community forum specifically for the Orbi AX (WiFi 6) products. Most of the people who watch that forum are more likely to have experience with Orbi AX and know how to work it better than those of us who follow this "general Orbi" forum. Might be more likely to find someone who has a solution if the question is posted there:
