Netgear Insight Router with Netgear Armor/Bitdefender and IPS features

[noely52]

The current suite of SmartCloud products (VPN Router, GC-switches, WAC-access points) does not include an option for Netgear Armor (Bitdefender) with Instrusion Protection System features.  Some of Netgear's other products, such as the Nighthawk AC-routers and Orbi Mesh-routers include the Netgear Armor product.  It is diffucult to sell the BR-500 product without a Netgear-Armor-like product available as an option.  Customers can buy other routers, such as the ASUS RT-series and perform similar wireless-mesh functions using Ethernet backhaul, for lower cost and get the IPS features and protection.  See https://www.asus.com/AiProtection/#Supported%20Models.
