Blocked Texts
Hello, I recently noticed some of my texts are being blocked on my iphone but only when I am connected to the RS700 router. I also use Netgear Armor on the router and downloaded app on the phone...

Yes. Apologies. Firmware is fully updated. I believe I am receiving all texts now. The issue i think was the Protection Engine setting. I have only tested turning on other things mentioned I had turned off and I am still receiving texts.
Turned back on:
Threat Protection
Netgear Armor aside from their VPN
I have not tried turning RCS back on yet.
Thanks again. If anything changes I will advise.

Firmware had always been fully updated prior to this issue also.

And I did not setup a custom DNS. It’s still at automatic.
