Armor seems to require the use of a mobile device and activating thru the Nighthawk App. 

Phones or pads can be used. 

Got a friend or family member that could lend you help here?

    Thank you for clarifying about needing an app on a mobile device.  Looks like I will not be able to give Armor a try. 

     

    Availability of devices is not an issue.  The issue is they are not permitted to be connected to that particular network  -- even though it is in my home.  Our phones, tablets, and kids' PCs use a different network/different router/different ISP. 

     

    Thanks again for clarifying.

      So you can't temporarily connect something from the other network to and NG network and get something set up then afterwards, put the device back on the other network?

        No.  I can't.  It is absolutely prohibited.  I don't write the policies; I just have to follow them.
