How to disable / deactivate Armor on RBR50?
Hey team,
I've enabled Armor on my Orbi RBR50 but decided I no longer wish to use it, is there a way to remove it without needing to factory reset the entire device
I too have the same question.....Dexter, please forward me that top secret message we have to ask for that you simply won't post.
Hi Carolqeuee, welcome to the community! If you are looking to disable Armor, you may refer to the link below for the steps.
If you are looking to add a URL to the whitelist, the link below may help out.

- I’ve also got this problem: just purchased and setup an Orbi and the Armour thing activated.
When I browse I see things missing, emails are missing images and I have no way of actually seeing the contents unless I connect to another WiFi or cellular network.
For avoidance of doubt:
1) I want Armour completed turned off and disabled on the Orbi, and I’ve already followed instructions to do so. It makes no difference.
2) I do not want to submit links to another company to whitelist. Apart from being a pain to do and wait, I don’t know the source sites of images in emails etc.
How do we do this?
Any why does the Orbi app mandate Location access? It will not function AT ALL unless I give it access to my location. This is very bad. I agree - there's no reason to require location access.
Hi two_frustrated_ and AcesOxtl, the Orbi can be managed via a web browser by logging in to www.orbilogin.net. Please see the statement for the location access permission linked below.

- From what I can tell, you can’t turn off the broken/useless “armor” software through the web interface.
The app shouldn’t need location access. The fact that it does is a huge privacy red flag. I have the same problem with Armor as everybody else. I want it out of the system! Now!!
