Thanks.   I was hesitating to mess with it while it worked.

So for the record,

 

1. Whether or not armor is enabled, I can connect via cell network

2. Whether or not armor is enabled, I cannot connect internally with WIFI  though it doesnt matter since I can connect without VPN.

 

For the record I took out the Bitfender box 2 since I wanted to add VPN

 

I know a lot of people have asked about Bitdefender box 2 versus Armor but I cant really say.  I havent noticed any speed issues or problems with either.

 

 

thanks again

1. Thanks to this board, I have set up my orbi and open VPN at House A and it seems to be working well.  I live here during the week for a temporary job.

 

2. I will now like to set this up at house B with another Orbi ( loyal netgear customer)

My question is I would like to  use the same laptop that I take back and forth and want to know how to set up a second NETGEAR Tap adapter?

      thanks.  DO I need to change the name of the TAP adapter?  Will they both need to be named Netgear?

        No sure about that. You might change the name anyways and give an intuitive name so you know what the adapter is and it's location.
