This is really a question directed at a moderator that can relay info back to management.  Are you folks considering retrofitting R7000 AC1900 routers with the new Netgear Armor enhancement?  I see you are already planning this for the R7000P, so I can't imagine that it would be that different.  Also, from a customer service perspective, it would be a nice add on to offer to customers provided pricing is minimal. 

Thanks for your question. For pricing, please refer to the article. 

The process of making this available on other routers has a lot to do with what chipsets and performance characteristics each device has. Each new device requires testing and regression to make sure it's all working correctly. There are several Nighthawk routers and Orbi WiFi Routers we are bringing this technology to, but are not announcing specifically which ones at this time. As more details become available we will announce here in the NETGEAR Forums. Thanks!

you mention Orbi equipment. Are you looking at retrofitting the existing orbi units, or will there be a new unit with this feature? it would be good customer service on Netgear's part to retrofit the units with this feature, so they can take advantage of it. Thanks for the input.

    This would be via a Firmware update, that means existing equipment
