I have version 4.6.9.11. I'm not updating because it works fine and has always worked well. My carrier's gateway is a router. I know it has dual NAT, but I don't care because I don't play online, and for my use, it's fine. Orbi is in router mode, and the PS5 and Xbox Series X are connected directly to the Orbi router via Ethernet. But do I have to disable Armor from the app? Will anything happen to the router if I turn off Armor? Thanks.
Ok, v4 FW had issues with Armor causing problems with downloads. We saw this on xbox as well if Armor was enabled. Was fixed in later version of FW.
Yes, You can turn OFF Armor from Orbi app.
No.
I don't have any problems with Xbox, it's just the PS5 that did this and not always, it did it 4 times. One question: What problems were there with downloads and Armor enabled? Thanks.
Ok, thanks, to disable Armor I can only do it from the Orbi app, right? Once disabled, you don't have to restart the router, right? Thanks.
