You have to do a complete factory reset of the system. I did that and it seems to have worked. It got to the part about the armor and I backed out. It no longer shows active when I go into the app and stuff seems to be working better. (Before with it turned on it wouldn't load scores in the mlb app and now by not activating it from the start it does)

NetGear is evil. I installed Orbi app on my Android phone, and I am 100% sure I was not asked about activating or opting in to the Armor bull**bleep**. It enabled Armor without me knowing. What are they thinking at NetGear? Do they treat their customers as stupid money paying idiots? NetGear keeps disappointing me, with bugs in their systems, providing bull**bleep** features, deceiving their users!!! I am waiting any comparable router system from other vendors to leave NetGear forever behind. I am done with NetGear.
