How to Launch Vulnerability Scan?
As the title says, how can I launch a vulnerability scan with netgear armor on my NightHawk R7000P? There is nowhere in the menu to launch one and I have had it since launch and no scan has been perf...
My router has been installed for almost two weeks and it has not done a scan. What's up? How do I force a scan?
I'm thinking I won't be continuing this service after the 90 day trial. Seems pretty crappy. I can't manually start a scan?!
What if my network was infected and I think I cleaned it, but I want to scan again to make sure. I have to wait a week? That's crazy!
Good points.. I guess you may not need a manual scan b/c if your device still has an issue Netgear will provided another alert?
But it be nice to do a Manual scan? I also have some devices it scanned another’s it never scanned and it been weeks why? What date and time does it scan the devices ?

- Apologies I re read the response above and it appears it scan everytime app is started correct? Anyway I still have one issue If so how come some of my devices it never scanned and it been weeks?
While I'm still trying to figure out netgear armor myself I've noticed that when I installed bitdefender on my laptop from the armor app and did a manual virus and vulnerability scan from the device itself the results showed up on the netgear armor app.
I ended up cancelling Netgear Armor. Even with the significant price discount they offered, it just isn't worth it. I think it does very little.
I'm still using my Netgear router as an access point, but I've transitioned to OPNsense for the firewall. It's amazing! It does a phenominal job of protecting the network. Lots of services including netflow analysis, OpenDNS, OpenVPN, dnsmasq, monit, and the list goes on and on. I highly recommend it. It's free, based on FreeBSD, and runs on minimal hardware. I built a small i3 system in a cute little ITX case and it's working perfectly, but I could have just as easily loaded it on an old PC with two NICs.
