When will the Armor will be implemented & available for Nighthawk R8000P ? (I see its available for R8000 models now)
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.

I am the PLM at NETGEAR for R8000P. We are, at this point, actively working on Armor support on R8000P - it's in external beta and QA phase. We hope to roll it out before end of the year. We will be testing it to make sure there's no loss of performance.
Thank you for your interest.
Could I install the beta version armor on my R8000P?
I bought this router few days ago.
I understand the beta version is not fully optimized for R8000P yet, so I understand it is on my own risk to use beta version, and I will not post complain about this beta vesion in this forum.
I have passed on your request internally. It may take some time to get back but you can DM me if you don't hear back in a week or so.
Hi Abhay,
I Would love to be part of the Armor Beta to. I'm a network engineer and PC support tech. This would be something I would use extensively. Please let me know if this is possible.
Thanks,
Raymond

Hi all,
Sorry for the delay to reply post new year with holidays and our rocking CES show. With additional testing schedule, at this point, it looks like it may be released next month. I will try my best to ensure that it doesn't get pushed out.
