I would also like to know this, i feel like this router is left out of all the other nighthawk "upgrades" with it missing the Disney Circle firmware. I almost wish i would have bought the cheaper X6 or X4 instead of the X8

Hi All,

Currently only R7000P is supported by NETGEAR Armor. We will provide any update once it is available to other routers.

Are they having problems with Armor? It was first mentioned in January but there’s still no release. I am particularly interested in getting it for the Orbi. How much longer? We really need better security options.
