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.

Then went back into the app after reconnecting it to the orbi and it worked for approx 1 minute.

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.
