Hi Dustin_V. Thank you for that, but now I'm confused.

 

I've been led to believe that the only software installed on the router is Netgear Armor, which can indeed function quite well as a standalone application to protect all devices connected to the network.

 

Bitdefender Total Security, as I understand it, is NOT installed on the router but rather on local devices (Windows, Apple OS X and iOS, Android) which aims at protecting those devices when in use on the Internet and away from one's home WiFi network.

 

Is my understanding correct?
