Armor subscription activated but not not applied to RBR50

I have the same problem where before trial expired everything was working fine, and after I paid for subscription it's no longer working. By the way I have entered the activation code and my subscription is now recognized as active in my Netgear account (and also bitdefender is working on my Android phone using the subscription). It's just that my Orbi does not recognize the subscription as active (and no, I will not reset my router if that is the recommended "fix" - that is too painfull to deal with so I will do that only when it's time to update to new firmware again). But because of this frustration I'm also never going to renew the Arbi subscription again - I should not have to deal with wasting an hour or so because Netgear can't get simple activation working without making consumers going through this hassle.
