What Firmware is currently loaded?
What is the Mfr and model# of the ISP modem the NG router is connected too?
Whats the name of the offered security software?
This would be coming from your phone and not Orbi.

The installation went fine, however, I am noticing that I am getting a popup on my andriod phone that says the network is not secure and offers to give me a 30-day trial of some sort of security software.
What is this? Is my network not really secure or this is just a sales pitch?
If there is a problem, how do I diagnose and fix this?
Thanks for any help.

Here is a screenshot of the pop-up. The pop-up coincided with the installation of the ORBI.
I was just googling it and it might be a Verizon add-on service, just not sure why it started immediately after the ORBI installation. I have had the phone for 2.5 years and never seen it before.
My cable modem is an Arris, Model TM1602 made for optimum.
I also updated the ORBI to latest firmware.
Any thoughts are appreciated.
