Armor Blocking Sites - How to Unblock?
NetGear Armor has blocked a wordpress site I manage for a non-profit org. I cannot find a way to unblock this site on the web page presented to me by Armor, or through the mobile app. I have had to t...
As a new user I was rather surprised that the Armor Security blocked web-sites that I have been using for years without any problems. So full support for the suggestions mentioned of making it possible to proceed to a Armor blocked web-site. As of now I have been forced to deactivate Armor and will not continue to subscribe.
Please allow us to bypass the Orbi false positive for websites that we need to access. Ridiculous that Netgear has not provided this option.
Since my last post, Netgear Armor never unblocked my company site despite submitting the request several times and waiting several weeks.
The ORBI is a complete Failed attempt at a mesh network of a router. I had submitted for them to whitelist my company website several times. They never respond nor did they ever whitelist it. They do not give us the ability for us to whitelist it ourself. Not only are you not able to visit your site, it is BAD FOR YOUR BUSINESS that other customers who use this garbage are not going to be able to access your site. That will result in loss of sales and income to your company. This is a failed attempt at a Mesh Network router. It is ridiculous. The only way you can access these website is to disable the piece of garbage.
Nor only is there a issue with Armor blocking the site, the other issue is with the devices that end up conntacting to the actual router instead of the nearest satalite. You can confirm they are connecting to the router via the signal strength of the item. This becomes a issue if you have smart devices such as a Ring Doorbell, or flood cams. If the ring door bell is right next to the satalite it connects to the router and stays stuck to the router. It will not reconnect to the satalite until you rebot the device. This is pathetic. Furthermore, you can't force the devices to connect to 5ghz. Orbi decides which one to choose and often selects 2.4 with slower speeds.Again your router is a complete failure and should not have been brought to the market. Your Netgear support is worthless and they ask us to wait and wait until our warranty or return period expires and then you force us to live with a piece of Garbage. Go on your own forums and see how many have complained about these issues and no one at Netgear has done anything to fix it.
