Nighthawk App keeps failing at trying to disable Netgear Armor, WHAT THE THE HECK YOU GUYS
So apparently setting up my RAXE500 Router activated a trial of Netgear Armor. I don't want it. The web portal for the router doesn't have the ability to disable it. The mobile app claims to, but EVE...

You should be able to access the routers web page using a wired PC and web browser pointed at 192.168.1.1 or routerlogin.net or what ever the gateway IP address is seen when a wired PC is connected to the router if it's in router mode.

Yes, "You should be able to access the routers web page using a wired PC and web browser pointed at 192.168.1.1 or routerlogin.net or what ever the gateway" BUT you can not turn off "Netgear Armor" from the web UI.

If you are connected to the browser GUI on a mobile device, as FURRYe38 says it should enable all of the controls that you get with a wired browser.
The controls are identical here, using Chrome on an Android device with a local wifi connection. (In other words, not Anywhere Access.)
Does this mean that you can see the control but that ignores you when you try to disable the feature?

Access is is very different from control.
By the way, you seem to have hijacked someone else's conversation, which is naughty and against the rules. If you issue is not the same as the one about Armor put forward by pdegan2814 you might like to start your own conversation.
