Hi all

Looking for some insight into the performance impact of Armor. Does this impact your internet speed? Question is in relation to the Orbi 963.

Thanks

You mean the RBKE963?

As @microchip8 says, it shouldn't.

I've tried it briefly with mine and it didn't seem to cause much issues.

You can always try the 30 day free trial of armor and see how it works for you

Current setup: CM2000-> RBE973S-> Trendnet TEG-S380-> GS716T-> pi-hole
also in AP setup: RAXE500->EAX80

Thanks. They are shipping with 1 year free. I had a similar solution on my Asus router which I am moving away from. Netgears implementation looks better. It's interesting Asus offer their equivalent solution lifetime-free though. Are these solutions just essentially pointing at a DNS server which screens the traffic; a bit like what cloudflare offer?
