Just purchased an R6700AX to replace an R7000 which has failed. I have 8 routers altogether m to provide guest internet coverage on a property that is roughly 3 football fields in size. 4 of the routers are for our secure camera network, and the other 4 provide guest internet. Of the 4 on each network, one functions as a router, and the other 3 are access points. We tried Netgear Armor a couple years ago, but it created a lot of problems, so we deactivated it. Whenever one of my routers goes down, and I have to factory reset it and reload the config file, it always asks if I want to install Netgear Armor (and Disney Circle, whatever that is) I alway say no, and don’t ask me again. After installing the R6700AX, it heavily prompted me to use the Nigththawk app instead of using a web browser to set up the router. Unfortunately the Nighthawk app went ahead and installed Netgear Armor without my permission. And, so far as I can tell, there does not seem to be anyway to turn it off!! Now it is scanning all the computers phones have the devices and by our customers that are connected to the network. This is a privacy violation. Please tell me how I can turn off Netgrear and armor immediately!
Even if it worked great and had no bugs, at $70 per year (per router) there is no way I can justify $700 per year for this.
