Updated to the latest Orbi firmware and enabled the trial of armour.

Kind of unrelated, but I think it needs to be said:
I'm seeing a lot of Netgear Armor hate on here and maybe it's warranted.
But in my opinion, you're not seeing the full picture.
Sure, maybe Armor itself is horrible. I haven't run into any issues with it yet.
However, the important thing to note is that for $70 per year, you also get to install the accompanying BitDefender Total Security on UNLIMITED DEVICES!
If you purchase BitDefender Total Security directly from BitDefender, you only get 5 devices for that price... and that's just the first year. The second year they're going to charge you a renewal rate of $120 or something like that.
I may be getting rid of my R7000 sooner than later, but as long as they let me keep renewing, I'm keeping Netgear Armor simply for the discoutned BitDefender subscription.
