Almost as impossible to find an effective question - a problem that somenody has found a tossed out Netgear router or what?

Do you have a real question the community members related to Netgear routers in general, or related to NEtgear routers supporting Netgear Armor specifically?
Every Netgear router has a product label, plus some more indications which might help us to identify that router - so start with:
- Netgear model (from the proiduct label) Netgear model description from the integrated Web UI?
- What problem, what was the exact question again please?

This is an ancient account, probably created a long time ago by a Netgear employee, but no longer active, read: Retired. So this is certainly not an active Netgear Support account...

Have a question related to Netgear Armor as you posted in this section?

Most devices Netgear ever made are documented:
Where can I find information about my NETGEAR product?
Netgear Consumer Routers -> https://www.netgear.com/support/home/downloads
Netgear Business Routers -> https://www.netgear.com/support/enterprise/

According to Grafixmac earlier community posts, one might guess you are talking of a RAX70 and Netgear Armor.

Is your Netgear Amor subscription simply expired, or does Armor not work as epected?
On my.netgear.com -> Get Support -> Open a support case ...
...tick "I have a subscription service", select [Armor] from the list...
...then you can select either [Call Support] (or [Chat with us])...
Describe the issue...
...after entring the issue desciption, the [Next] button will become active, ...
You will get a phone number (depending on your market, country, ...) for
Home and Mobile WiFi Products (Orbi, Nighthawk, NETGEAR Armor, WiFi extenders and mobile hotspots, etc.):
...and a Case Number (you might have to key in on your phone if requested.
Same details are sent to you by email, too.
That much about contactoing Netgear Support is impossible.
