Armor on Amazon Fire devices

Hello- I want to know how to install Netgear Armor (Bitdefender) on my Amazon Fire Stick (1st generation), my Toshiba Amazon Fire TV, and my Amazon Fire TV Recast. I'd also like to know exactly what the Armor software will do on these Amazon devices. Are there any settings I should change or be aware of when I install the software? Thank you!

    Hi coachmcquade, 

     

    NETGEAR Armor protects your connected home from Internet threats. Multi-layer cyber security is built into the WiFi router to protect all devices on the home network including your Amazon devices. You should not have to configure settings. Please check out our landing page for more info!

      Hi Christian, thanks for the reply. I think I understand that you are saying that I don't need to install anything on my Amazon devices and I will have protection for them simply because they are connected to the Orbi router. However, I didn't find anything related to my question on the landing page that you linked. Could you be more specific about what on the landing page would address my questions? Or could you (or someone) explain how the Netgear Armor protects devices on which Bitdefender is not installed? Thanks!
