I accepted the trial of Netgear Armour and have been trying for a month to turn this crap off. I do not want it. It says that I have 45 days left... My phone dings that there is security threat everytime I enter a new website on my laptop. It's currently notifying me as we speak about this site. Please help me get rid of it!

I made a serious mistake clicking on the Netgear Armoursecurity function. How can I uninstall it completely. I really don't want to sacrifice that much bandwidth until late December. Now questioning my purchase. Help!

I have the same problem: Settings----->Security------> then renewal product page. No option to toggle off.

Hi Orbi-Roc, I tried your recomendattion but still it does not help me. I am still getting my internet going offline. I tried different router and it is working fine, so it is issue with the Netgear Orbi router or ARMOR software. Any help is appreciated.

Hi CoGizmo, we'd like to help out. To confirm, you're experiencing slow Internet speeds when Armor is enabled, correct? If so, does disabling Armor get your speeds back to how they should be? You can check the link below for the steps on how to disable Armor. https://kb.netgear.com/000060900/How-do-I-turn-NETGEAR-Armor-on-or-off-using-the-Nighthawk-or-Orbi-app Dexter

Hi goddss6

Use the Orbi app on your phone, [Settings][Security] and disable it. As far as I understand it, you cannot completely remove the Armor capability from the router. The only way you could do that is to do a factory reset; but that won't do much because Armor will be right back as soon as you update the Orbi software to the latest version. But as long is you do not activate it with the Orbi app, I believe that Armor will be innocuous (I think! :smileyfrustrated:)

Hi,

every time I try to go to Home / Settings / Security I get a message saying checking netgeat armour status and then I'm redirected to purchase a subscription, I can't remove it!!

this software is driving me mad and making my HP printer waste paper every day and beep about every 15 minutes

why has my router been hijacked and I can't access the setting without paying 69.99

please help, I don't want to have to factory reset the router and 3 satellites

thanks

  I have the same problem. Everytime I go to the security page, I am redirected to purchase a subscription, I can't do anything.
  
  This has hijacked my network. I am unable to go to valid sites and it is preventing me from updating software from legit sites. It is also preventing my children from doing their distance learning - School Work!
  
  PLEASE HELP me remove this software from my network so my kids can continue their schooling at home!!!!!!

Below is the solution I received from Netgear and it worked.

I did a soft reset and it worked. After the Reset, It immediately asked if I wanted to install Netgear Armor, I put NO and it now my router is not blocking any sites.

Good Luck!

Solution provided by Netgear:
Thank you for those screenshots. Base on it, Armor was already expired and after the trial it should automatically disable. However, if you experience blocking websites in your network or unable to update Apple iphone OS and/or unable to access several websites. We could also try to reset the router and then set it up.

We can either do a hard reset or a soft reset whichever you prefer.
1. Hard reset.
https://kb.netgear.com/9665/How-do-I-perform-a-factory-reset-on-my-NETGEAR-router

2. Soft reset.
a. Go to routerlogin.net
b. Advanced > Administration > Backup settings
c. Click "Erase", to revert the settings to default.

After the unit reboot, just set it up either going to routerlogin.net or using the Nighthawk App.

  How’s that going to help if you erase it? If you do a restore to get your settings back won’t you get the armor program back?
