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:)

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!

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.

That worked thanks 🙏 I don't trust security software that reports other security software 🧐
