There's definitely an issue with Netgear Armour. I'm not technically minded enough to know the problem, but streaming services are certainly an issue. Tried downloading Prime for Google TV on chromecast today, wasn't having it. Knew something was up when I created a hotspot via the phone as WiFi and downloading it worked via that. Then went back into the app after reconnecting it to the orbi and it worked for approx 1 minute. Kept crashing and buffering constantly...then turned off Armour and bingo, Prime started to stream without issues. Maybe it creates a firewall or something and some apps just don't get on with it??

Tried to use Armor for months. Kept dropping conneciton no matter what I did. Finially disabled it, got a refund (I had purchased the service) and never looked back. Problems disappeared and never came back. Armor is definately not ready for prime time.
