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...
Do a factory reset and then use your web browser to do the setup and NOT the nighthawk app.
That will keep the armor service from being enabled.
I realize this is an old thread, but I am still having the issue of Armor phoning home. Doing a factory reset and not activating Armor does not completely stop Armor from phoning home. The number of "phone homes" is reduced, but it still contacts three different bitdefender.net sites every two hours.
My router also contacts www.netgear.com every 10 minutes, and other netgear and amazonaws sites multiple times per day. So far, I have found no way to stop this. Disabling the connections with pi-hole seems to increase the frequency of the contact attempts.
