Managing Armor on different devices is a nightmare.
I haven't got it to work, but on thing I came across might be worth trying:
It didn't work for me. But I have a freebie for a year. (I'm not likely to renew.) Maybe it will have more success with paid subscriptions.

Well as usual the Netgear Nighthawk app still doesn't work. I download it today and I had to go thru the motions as if I have a new router but no changes as of now. I did notice that when I first D/L the app and installed it I was able to use the devices function to view all my devices, most all other selections were not available. when I rebooted my iPhone or my iPad the nighthawk was unusable! just sat there with the spinning circle. I just ordered and received a new NetGear modem/router combo. I will hopefully install it without using the nighthawk app. It will be quite some time until I try to install it due to personal reasons. It's weird that both my iPhone and my iPad are doing the same thing.

Does this have anything to do with the subject of this conversation?
As a reminder, here is what Mcharp asked about:

The events you describe could be down to many things. You might get better help if you started your own conversation explaining what is going on at your end.
You might also be better to ask on the section given over to your router or to the Nighthawk app. Armor is something else.
