How to activate Netgear Armor in my Orbi RBK53 devices

The how-to video shows you need to activate Netgear Armor by the "Security" button within the Orbi IOS App. 

So what to do when the app does not show the "Security" button?

App Version 2.4.18.6

Firmware V2.5.1.8

    Hi nailman107, 

     

    Please set the Orbi to router mode and you should be able to activate Armor.

    Hello nailman107, 


    Welcome to the community! May I ask if the Orbi router is in router or AP mode? 


    Thanks,
    Christian
