R7900P Armor?

When I login to my router (web or all) the "armor" solution is displayed prominently but its unable to be activated.  The support page does not list this router as being supported.  Is support coming or is this just going to annoy me every time I login?

    Hello captinboondoggl, 

     

    May you let us know if you're able to enable/disable remote management? May you also try reinstalling the Nighthawk app to see if there are any improvements. 

     

    Thanks,

    Christian

    I don't show it as being added in the release notes. And netgear doesn't release when devices get updates. 

    but I'd bet its going to be because armor has been a revenue stream for netgear. Again, I'm not netgear so this is just a guess based on how they've rolled it out to older devices. 

    • Thanks. I assume as much as well. Guess we’ll just need to wait and see.

      BTW - their response that they have no idea which models are being supported next is bogus. There are probably 20 project managers tracking and planning and Gantt charting the entire rollout with visibility into 2021.

        you're probably right on that. problem is when devices don't perform as they should and they end up testing longer or getting delayed by things like covid. Then they get grief/trouble for not hitting deadlines. Sometimes its just better not to release deadlines.
