Any reason to keep Bit Defender Box2 with Orbi?

I have been using the the Bit Defender Box 2 with my Orbi network for quite some time. I have the Orbi RBR50.

 

My Bit Defender Box 2 subscription recently came up for renewal. With the Orbi's Armor security is there any reason to keep the Bit Defender Box in my network, or is it simply redundant?

 

I found some discussion of this on other discussion boards, but the info was either dated or seemed inconclusive.

 

Thanks in adavance for any thoughts and help.

They both have a cost for subscription.  By "other discussion" did you mean the Netgear Armor forum?

Thanks for your reply. I now can not find the discussion specifically on the Box 2. The solution in that discussion was more a decided course of action (to keep using the Bit Defender Box) rather than a determination of whether there was any real advantage to doing so.

 

If the Box 2 is redundant I would like to remove it from my network and pay for the Armor subscription. If, as a dedicated device, it is doing someting more than Armor acomplishes I would probably keep using it.

 

Thanks.
