Thank you very much.
First link I tried. Problem is that the nighthawk app shows Armory Security status not activated. As soon as I press on the Armory Icon within the app it starts trying to activate Test period. I tried it several times but there is just showing up activation failed and I just have the possibility to OK this message. Everything starts now from beginning. I've done that several times with no luck.
Second Link
As soon as I logged in to armor.netgear.com I can see my router under my routers. My Rax200 does even have a green dot, I assume that it should be ok. Within Menu MySubscriptions I can see my subscription as active, green marked. As I go in the subscription there is mentioned Router Security Active, Devices: 0.
As mentioned on front end log in to the router, and nighthawk app, Armory is not activated.
I tried it, uninstalling and reinstalling nighthawk app on mobile phone. Without success. I'm not able to activate Armory.
Firmware on Router: V1.0.3.106
