RBK852 in AP with RBR50 Armor active
If I connect an RBK852 (in AP mode) to an RBR50 (with NETGEAR Armor and with WiFi radios off) does this in effect give the RBK852 NETGEAR Armor to devices connected to its WiFi 6?
- Mar 28, 2020Thank you, that’s great news. Sounds like a good work around until the RBK852 abilities are activated later this year.

Looks like Armor is now in FW for Orbi 850 series:

Thank you. It took a few days but The FW update showed up in my mobile app this morning. I removed the RBR50, changed the RBK850 to Router mode, selected Armor trial (was the only option) in the mobile app to activate. Result is my 2021 Armor expiration now shows up and everything is working like a charm.
