Netgear-RS700
My Netgear-RS700 Armor software seems to constantly tell me that my Google WiFi has been scanned and no issues are found, yet I get messages that Google WiFi was bocked trying to connect to random sites. Today, I was told Google WifI was blocked from connecting to a site for Phishing at slimfierce.site and libensale.shop. Again, I go back to the Google WiFi it refers to and it says, "No vulnerabilities found". So far, I feel Armor is offering no value. I want to see the source and destination, not just the destination. It sites vague vulnerablities for buffer overflows or other vague things but offers no remediation information or suggestions. "Attack found on "Google-WiFi". That's not helpful at all. If this is a wireless device on my network, it would be helpful to know the SOURCE of the device so I could investigate. Just telling me something was blocked is absolutely worthless. If I could at least get the IP Address of the SOURCE device, I could search my router and find that device. Armor offers no help at all and I'm regretting paying for it. Is there some way I can set Armor to send me verbose information or at least useful information? This "hey, we blocked a thing" just does no good and gives a false sense of security.

Are you running two Wi-Fi router systems? RS and Google Wi-Fi?

How big is your home?
The RS router should work alone with out any additional wifi support.
If you need more support, could configured the 2nd system for AP mode instead of router mode would help some.
If turning OFF the 2nd system do same message appear in Armor?
