Any idea how long it'll be before the "flagship" AX (RAX200) WiFi-6 router has the Armor feature enables ? Thanks,Jim

Jvhaslup, I’m curious: have you seen statements from Netgear indicating that the company intends to add the Armor service to any of the new RAX-class devices? The first question to ponder, IMHO, is “if” (rather than “when”)....

Topology - The only indication I got, regarding any type of IDS/IP enables feature(s) on this router last year was simply “They’re working on it” response.-Jim

Netgear should have been taken care of this matter before releasing the product for the price we paid for this router. Why is it taken so long ? You guys did beta testing but failed to include security protection come on get it together netgear . Please the hurry the hell up netgear!!!

Another security feature for NETGEAR to consider adding to its RAX-class routers is support for Apple’s Homekit, providing “protection at the router level for your smart home devices” (see here). Interested forum members may wish to “vote” for this feature enhancement: Homekit for Routers

    ... should read “IDS/IPS”.
