AX5400 security considerations

I'm considering upgrading my R7000P to an AX5400. Netgear Armor was included with the R7000P. Is that the case with the A5400 or must I buy a subscription? If so, how much is it? I already have Viper Advanced Security firewall installed on my devices, so does Armor offer anything worthwhile above the Viper?

    If you've already got viper, I wouldn't add in another service. 

    But yes, you'd have to pay for it. 

    Even the armor for the R7000P was only for a year. So doubtful you have it free the whole time.

      Thanks! Good to know. I'm replacing the 7000P with an AX5400, and I'll remove Armor if it's installed for the trial period.
