Thanks Christian. I can’t do anything because it doesn’t see my router so I can’t add the subscription to a device.

Hi shanafan,
Can you clarify if you purchased a subscription or not. If so, from where? Or are you attempting to activate the NETGEAR Armor trial?
Thanks,
Christian

I would like to do a trial, but I don't see the option.
Here are my steps:
1. Go to armor.netgear.com
2. Click Buy Now under the Nighthawk router picture
3. It goes to the Bitdefender store and it wants me to enter all my payment information and then click on Confirm Order.
How would I know I am getting the trial before clicking on Confirm Order?

Hi Shanafan,
You will need use the Nighthawk app to activate Armor. I've provided details for that in the link below. However, you have an XR500 as stated in your original post and the XR500 currently does not support NETGEAR Armor. I have also included a link providing a list of routers that currently support NETGEAR Armor.
