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.

New FW installed and Armor is working canny! 👍🏻
I appear to be on a 30 day Trial even though I've got 175 days left on my sub but hopefully that'll sort itself out! 😀

yep I'll need my Armor Sub transfered from my R8000 to the R8000p! 👍🏻
The Routers (including serial numbers) are registered to my Netgear Email so there shouldn't be any problem! 🍺

Hello, I just wanted to say Thank You for being transparent about adding Armor to the R8000P! I've activated the trial and plan to purchase the subscription before it ends. Thanks for continuing to invest in this product, and for the continued support, much appreciated!
