Vulnerablity scan will not run on Netgear Armor
Has any one had any scanning issues with Armor? My devices has not initiated a vulenerablity scan for any devices to include IoT devices that I have on my network. It is a Night Hawk R7000P firm ware ...

Yeah I have been fighting this for a while too. I am thinking about canceling my sub at this point. I do like the end point security that you can install on Windows and Android devices. However I was more interesting in Armor for the Network vulnerablity scans that scan Lot items such as IP cameras. I didn't want to do this beacuse I am pretty lazy when it comes to building my own solutions but I will proably move to Pfsense for a firewall, ddwrt for my APs, and i will also be looking at Nessus or Openvas for network vulnerablity scans. I hate to put this much work into my home network but Netgear hasn't given me much choice.

Netgear has set up a community forum specifically for the Armor product. Most of the people who watch that forum are more likely to have experience with Armor and know how to work it better than those of us who follow this "general Orbi" forum. Might be more likely to find someone who has a solution if the question is posted there:
