How do I remove this garbage from my router?
Updated to the latest Orbi firmware and enabled the trial of armour.
Today the router is blocking my access to legitimate websites falsly claiming they are phishing sites.
I canot see any...
i WANT TO KNOW ALSO ! THIS IS COMPLETE GARBAGE, I AM ON HOLD RIGHT NOW GETTING TERRIBLE SERVICE FROM NETGEAR.
THEY WANTED ME TO PAY TO GET THIS SH*T OFF MY ORBI. **bleep** YOU NETGEAR
So Netgear Armour is ransomware!
There doesn't appear to be a consensous on how to restore settings pre-Armor trial (even a factory reset may not work).
AND it appears NetGear wants at least $80 to provide support to uninstall the firmware it encouraged be installed on a trial basis. I'm an attorney and this is classic fraudulent inducement, which voids any warranty disclaimers and can result in punitive damages, even in arbitration. I'm ripping this piece of #$** off of my network, and then will file suit in a small claims court. May not win but they will spend more defending this than the $80 they are attempting to extort. Lesson learned. Used to be a pretty good company (although support was always suspect) from what i can tell.

- Check your router’s app—that’s where it was for me.
Open up your app go to Settings > Security and toggle the Enable Netgear Armor switch and this will disable it.
That would work, if it was there when I needed it. The slider appears and disappears at will! Asked for a refund but cant uninstall it!
