    Security arm? Do you mean wifi security mode? 

    WIfi security mode would not be blocking web sites.

    What Firmware version is currently loaded?
    What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?

    To make changes to the RBR router, you need to use a PC or laptop and a web browser and log into the RBRs web page to make changes.

    If "Arm" refers to Bitdefender Armor, there is a community forum devoted entirely to this product:

    https://community.netgear.com/t5/NETGEAR-Armor/bd-p/en-home-armor 

     

    (I have never activated Armor, but...) My understanding is that the Orbi app has a method to disable Armor and people have reported both success and failure using the app to do that.  In that case, it is time to get out the paperclip, do a Factory Reset, and set the Orbi up and not activate Armor this time.

     

    Or... maybe someone on the Armor forum will have a better answer!
