Netgear Armor and Parental Controls Subscription Expired 7 and 9 months early

No, I just gave up!  I bypassed the product as a Wireless AP only and gave up until I replaced the hardware with something else, luckily this wasn't my only option.  I keep getting notifications from Netgear every month or so that I need to renew my subscription before it expires, even though there should still be MONTHS left.

The whole experience was so comical that it really hammered home that Netgear isn't paying attention to their products any more, so why should I expect them to pay attention to the security of their routers and services?  It really made me question if the data they provided was real, or if they were injecting attacks to make their product feel more valuable, I've certainly seen no increase or disruption in services despite supposedly being under attack 40 times a day before their log stopped recording information. Neither product appears to be directly from Netgear, so enlisting their involvement was only netting Netgear some extra cash with little to no work other than poorly constructing an interface to interact with said services, and that appears to be a sluggish, mostly broken psuedo-iframe experience.  Unfortunately, seems like an instance of one brand name being used to shovel another weaker brand into acceptance and compromising the overall product as a whole.   After this experience, it demonstrated Netgear has zero follow-through, in particular with paid 3rd party associations, so it's little more than box-art and a checkbox rather than a valuable service you should consider to protect your valuable assets.
