Hi,
Yes, I was just typing a post to let people know that we have started releasing the firmware in batches. If you are eager to get started, please manually update the firmware by following instructions in https://kb.netgear.com/000061737/R8000P-Firmware-Version-1-4-1-50 and then you can activate Armor 30-day free trial by following https://kb.netgear.com/000059442/How-do-I-activate-NETGEAR-Armor-using-the-Nighthawk-app.
SimonB1979 Unfortunately, the subscription transfer is NOT automatic - it's tied to original device. DarrenM please DM SimonB1979 to get his information so we can transfer the sub over.
Its availble on the R8000P now (1.4.1.42) - I just installed this FW a few weeks ago and ignored its prompt. You can purchase BitDefender outright, no need to go through Netgear for it.

Have run BitDefender for years on PC's and MAC. Never an issue, just works and protects. Keeps coming with more extensions for browsers to cover more possibilities of bad folks trying to do something. They also make a box that sits between the modem and router if you like the sounds of Armor. I am not sure how much additional load Armor puts on the CPU in the router, that would be a concern of mine.
