Orbi AX4200 Trying to Activate Armor getting "Failed to Subscribe"
I'm on the latest firmware and am using the most up to date version of the APP on my IPhone but it will not let me activate Armor. Tried doing it via the web portal but don't see the option.
Have tried rebooting my phone and the router with no success.
Any other ideas on how to activate it, note I've not used it before.
Thanks

Thank you was able to Chat with support, they let me know I had already done the trial, that is why it was not working.
