How To Stop Netgear Armor Vulnerability Scan on a device
The Netgear Armor scan is wasting paper on my printer. Apparently it does it's weekly scan, and the printer thinks a print job is starting. I want to disable the internal scan at least for that dev...
Hi Glenvis:
Same issue here with all four printers I have installed in my home. First, I worked with their technical support to install a beta version of the firmware without much success. Then I changed the IP address of one of my printer and it still continued having the same issue. Finally, and as per the recommendation of Armor, I removed the printers from Armor scanning, and they still printed the dreaded 3 pages. The only remaining step left for me is to disable Armor the way you described it in your post.
But I do not believe we should stop here, we should ask for a refund. The minimum they should do is extend the expiration date of every affected member until the issue is resolved.
Thank you.
Test pages no more. Got up this morning and checked my printer, no test pages - for the first time in several months. Disabling Armor was the only cure that worked.
Sorry Netgear, but until Armor is fixed I won't be participating.
