Armor and Guest Network

Earlier versions of Armor or Orbi's firmware didn't include or scan guest network devices.  Now it appears to be adding any guest device to Armor.  While I support the idea of scanning for any vulnerabilities and protecting the device from malicious links, it's also affecting the Armor score negatively by including them as devices eligible for Bitdefender security.  I can't enforce, install or suggest guests install Bitdefender security for my network.  Can the Armor platform be updated to not include Guest devices in this category and affect the overall score?

  • I’ve asked for this feature as well, but don’t believe it’s currently possible. The more of us that ask the better our odds are they’ll act on it:

    With the Nighthawk or Orbi app open, shake your mobile device up and down.
    The Need help? dialog displays.
