Anyone seeing internet connection drops with Armor enabled?
I installed Armor on my 2 1/2 year old Orbi and started having internet drops once I streamed content on my TV. I had the same issue when I thought I had removed Armor but apparnetly I had not. I f...
I haven't heard from Netgear about this issue.
Bumping the post to see if they say anything.
Has there been an update to fix it?
I just updated my Orbi to V2.3.5.30, but don't want to risk enabling Armor and break everything again. (Although, the trial period ended for me already, so maybe it doesn't matter anymore).
My Bitdefender total security subscription is up in about 6 months, and I would like to know if it's worth it to get Armor instead, since it includes Total Security.
Does anyone know anything new about this?
Thank you.
I've been running Armor for over three months now; and the only time I experienced internet drops was when I had the daisy chain option enabled. If you only have one satellite, daisy chain will slow down your network and cause regular internet drops -- at least, this has been my experience. Once I disabled daisy chain, everything went back to normal, with no hiccups whatsoever. I have since added a second satellite, as the signal was weak in one area of our house. I re-enabled daisy chain, and now the signal is very strong in all corners of the property, with zero internet drops.
So based on my experience, if I were you, I would definitely go with Armor once the BD Total Security licence runs out since Armor includes BD Total Security on specific devices for protection when working away from the home network.
Seeing the same thing here. Every time it runs a vulnerability scan,
it kills my wifi. The only way to reconnect is to reboot the router, which is a nuisance.
