Netgear support had me hold the reset button for 15 seconds and then reconfigure the Netgear router as if it was new. I had a few issues working through the reconfiguration.

Same here...after the trial expired, I bought Armor from the NETGEAR website on my Mac. Got the email, activation code; activated, but my Orbi app says it’s expired and takes to me the purchase page. Please help?

I have the same issue... bought the subscription on armor.netgear.com, which shows my subscription is active.

May you send me a private message with your serial number and email address. Also, have you got a chance to get in contact with Bitdefender support?
Thanks,

Hi Christain -- I sent you a private message. I do have a case open with BitDefender, but they have not been able to resolve the issue.

Update... still no luck activating "Armor" on my RBS50. Tried a factory reset... I've had a case open with BitDefender for 5 days, 2 different support techs... they can't activate it either.
Feels like I paid $70 for some scam software...
