Thank you for your response.
I followed the link you gave in your response, and all of the links from that page as well and read all of the content on them.
The only one that seems to apply to my situation is the one that says "I get an error when I try to activate NETGEAR Armor; what do I do?" I have followed the instructions on that page, which told me to enable and then disable Anywhere Access and then return to the Dashboard and tap the Security tile again. That did not solve the problem.
After enabling and disabling Anywhere Access, when I tap the Security tile, it still displays a screen that says "Verifying account information..." and then eventually an error message that says "Error Unknown error." with an "OK" button. When I click on the "OK" button the app returns to the main screen and my router does not connect to my account.
So I am repeating my previous question:
How can I correct this "Unknown error."?

I am re-posting my question in the hope that someone from NETGEAR will read this and reply.
I have an Orbi RBR50 running firmware V2.7.4.24. I recently purchased a new subscription to Armor and am trying to activate it.
When I log in to armor.netgear.com I land on the "My Routers" page which says "No routers associated with this account." If I go to the "My Subscriptions" page and enter my activation code, I get an error message that says "Activate a new subscription" and "There is no Netgear router with this type of subscription connected to your account. If you have a new router, please first connect it to the account by using your Nighthawk or Orbi app. If you already have a router, with a different type of subscription, please contact the support team."
When I try to use the Orbi app and tap the Security tile, it displays a screen that says "Verifying account information..." and then eventually an error message that says "Error" and "Unknown error." with an "OK" button. When I click on the "OK" button the app returns to the main screen and my router does not connect to my account.
I have read all of the suggestions on the community page that FURRYe38 provided (@FURRYe38 thank you for replying) but they have not helped resolve the problem.
One of the specific suggestions listed is to enable and disable "Anywhere Access". I have done that and it has not resolved the problem.
I am still left with my question:
How can I correct the "Unknown error" when I tap on the "Security" tile in the Orbi app?
