Disable Armor - Causes printer time print
Somehow I accidentally tuned on this Armor. It now causes my printer to print showing port 9100 open. I tried click disable in app, the slider shows off but app says Activated still. Firmware is 2.3....

Factory reset the RBR and setup from scratch. Walk thru the setup wizard and after it complete, don't enable Armor.
There is newer v16 fw availalbe if you choose to update the system yourself:

Factory reset?? Ouch.
I have RBR20 so v16 I don’t see for my model.
Isn’t there auto way to update firmware?

The link I posted is also for your RBR20. RBK20 included the RBR20.
- LouiemApr 29, 2020AspirantSo how can I get it to update firmware auto?
I don’t want reset as Best Buy set this mesh up and I’m not tech guru.
Only firmware update I hope helps. Thx sir- FURRYe38Apr 29, 2020Guru - Experienced User
I recommend avoiding the auto update FW section of the router. Many posters have had problems with this feature and is not stable to use. Seems to break systems or causes problems more than anything else.
First manually download the RBS and RBR FW files from the link provided.
Unpack the FW from the .zip files.
Use a wired PC for this process. Safari(Mac), IE11, Firefox or Opera browsers are recommended.
Log into the RBSs web page and send the FW file there first.
Then send the RBR FW file lastly.
Factory reset the RBS and RBR and setup from scratch. After makeing sure the system works after setting up, be sure to make a backup configuration to file for safe keeping. This saves time if a reset is needed again.
