I need to remove Netgear Armor from Nighthawk RAX35v2 Router. It's garbage worm and I want it gone
I just bought a Nighthawk RAX35v2 and it forced this Armor crap on my Router. Nobody wants this junk and I need it completely removed or I will return this paper weight promptly!!! You shouldn't ha...
Thanks but this is not at all usefull to me. I have already disabled. I don't want netgear spyware on my network and I will return this router and replace it with something less intrusive if it cannot be totally removed. I will return this item to the store this weekend.
Netgear=Armor
Asus=aiprotection from trendmicro
Tp-LInk-Avira
etc.
most router manufacturers are incorporating some type of security. If you don't want it on the device at all, then buy an enterprise level device or build your own router so you can control its features.

Otherwise it gets incorporated into the firmware. It doesn't have to be enabled.
