Nighthawk r7000
I am looking for the Armor client for Mac OS to run on my MacBook Air. Can't seem to find the download, no URLs etc. Is there a client for Armor to run on MacOS
Device specific downloads usually appear in the support pages for that model:
Visit the support pages:
Support | NETGEAR
That page should have any software, firmware and drivers for your device, if they exist.
Also try asking here:
NETGEAR Armor - NETGEAR Communities
- That's the first place I looked at of course. Very unclear and only android and ios is shown as supported
- The support site is rubbish. Even the firmware versions are not downloadable. Getting messages file not found for every single firmware upgrade. And av software is only mentioned fot ios and android

Getting messages file not found for every single firmware upgrade.Something is amiss at your end. Hard to tell with no details about what you are using to download these files.
And av software is only mentioned fot ios and androidThat's because, as explained, Netgear doesn't produce "av" software for particular models.
Support for stuff like Armor and parental controls is at the firmware level. A lot of the management then happens through an "app" for your mobile devices.
You seem to be a bit confused as to how Armor works. I see no sign that you have posted a question in the most appropriate place to get help with that:
NETGEAR Armor - NETGEAR Communities
Then there is this:
What is the NETGEAR Armor Bitdefender Total Security feature? | Answer | NETGEAR Support
- I am not confused. You should be able to upgrade the firmware of the router from the nighthawk client. It states it is checking for new firmware and then says it up to date and it isn't as the latest version is
Firmware Version 1.0.11.136
the Armor / bitdefender license that covers different OS then ios and android...I can only find the mentioned apps. And not wjndows and mac os. And I am not talking about the Nighthawk client. Ghe AV client.
