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 have tried to disable using the app (iOS app, v2.4.21.5) under settings / security but only get an error message when I toggle it "Process is taking too long (more than 60 secs), Try again!" or "Sorry, the action was failed. Please try again" .... so that doesn't work.
Being ever hopeful that I could log into the Orbi (firmware v2.5.1.8) to disable Armor, no such luck. Clicking on Security on the basic / home screen, nothing happens. On the advanced tab, there is no Armor listed under security options -- only parental controls, access control, block sites, block services, schedule, email.
How do I disable??? It's killing my internet performance!

I have the exact same problem.
Having to do a factory reset of my router because of some sleazy ploy Netgear did to get unwanted software installed is not good.
