Check Out What's New With NETGEAR Armor!

My ORBI worked pretty well to start and held the internet connection while Armor was active.  Then about 6 months later Dec-2019, the ORBI dropped the internet almost daily.  A reboot would restore the connection.  This forum suggested that I should try deactivating the Armor option.  I did that, and the internet dropping stopped.  Haven't had a drop since I disconnected Armor; about 2-3 weeks now.  I would recommend that you disable Armor on an ORBI and use whatever other antivirus (Norton, MacAfee, etc) on your computer or other devices.  Keep it off your Router.  I do like the idea of having such software on the router but that apparently needs to be perfected or perhaps bitdefender is not the right product.  I am a little disappointed in NetGear to have installed this on my router without a full testing of it on the router.  I have always bought NetGear with little or no problems in the past.  My ORBI is not running with the same level of reliability as my previous NetGear routers.  I normally do not comment, but I wanted to help others who may have made a pretty expensive ORBI upgrade only to find it dropping the internet connection regularly.  Hope this helps someone out there.
