Armor Device List
I just activated the Armor Subscription and the device list now shows only 7 devices using 2.4Ghz and I have many more devices successfully using the router......before Armor installation there were 25 on 2.4Ghz and 5 on 5Ghz. Why is it not showing all active devices?

Armour will only report devices it thinks are eligible for protection with the app manually installed on them such as laptops, macs, iOS devices and android devices. It seems to get this wrong as it sees some devices running an android or variation of Linux such as your smart TV and sound bar and thinks they are eligible when in fact they cannot be accessed by the end user and cannot have Armour installed. It will still monitor network layer traffic for these through the router.
I meant to also add that Armor will correctly not see a lot of devices as eligible such as your wifi cameras, doorbells, other smart devices.
