Armor on Wifi 6 Routers
Hi, I've just bought the Nighthawk RAX80. Are there any plans to activate Armor on the Wifi 6 models? You would have thought so with the cost of them. If so, what's the timescale? Many thanks
I know they plan on rolling it out to the RAX devices at some point. but I don't know when and netgear doesn't release dates. To many different things impact release dates such as bugs or world issues (covid).
- Do you know this for certain? If it’s in the pipeline I’ll keep hold of it. The thing is, Asus and TP-Link have Trend Micro variants on their Wifi 6 routers. There is no antivirus software included for Mac and PC admittedly but, to be honest, a router level only Netgear Armor would’ve suited me better.
Do I know 100%? No, I don't. Is it a reliable revenue stream for netgear? Yes it is.
From my experience, they get the basic firmware running decent and then add features.
HI all,
Thank you for your notes. Please stay tuned for some annoucements/releases over coming months to include Armor on WiFi 6 products. As correctly mentioned, the timelines are definitely a bit challenging given the environment but we are making some great progress!
