Armor Will not activate
Armor will Not activate. I gave up on phone support after waiting for too long to get a person to help. I used the chat support and I was told to basically unplug the router for 2 min and restart it ...
try turning remote management off and then back on or vice versa
did not work. It was off so I turned it on and then back off. No good. I trying it on. no good.
Did you try contacting bifdefender support (what armor's based on) at all?

You can also try a factory reset of the router and reinstalling it.
Are you using the app for setup?
I have reset the router. I have contacted Bitdefender, they wanted me to buy a subscription. I still have the message stating that Armor is not activated. When I try to activate it It times out and I get a message saying that it took too long and try again. I will not pay for a subscription for a service that can not be demonstrated that it will even work. Resetting the router did nothing. Turning remote management on/off/on and so forth did nothing. Calling the customer support line only to wait soo freaking long that I just hang up because I think it rediculous to have to be on hold that long. So far I am not impressed by Netgears customer support. I have also done the chat support option.
