Hi
So I'm nearing the end of my second week with Orbi and *mostly* everything has been good. I am having some problems with the connection dropping to Apple devices... iPhone, iPad and AppleTV but otherwise ok. I have read a few posts where users are being advised to turn of Armor protection.
I'm trying to figure out what exactly the benefits of Armor are? If don't renew/switch it off, I assume the router is still protected by a firewall as with any other router? What do I lose by switching it off?
Solved! Go to Solution.

Re: Armor
Yes, Orbi has a built-in firewall that will protect your network and will not allow access to your router's port except for those that you allow.
Armor / Bitdefender provides you additionally with:
- Individual device protection for unlimited number of devices in your network. You can add software to every device to provide you with additional protection for the respective devices
- On-the-go antivirus protection with Bitdefender Security
- Security status overview on the all new Armor Dashboard
You can read more about Bitdefender here: https://www.netgear.com/landings/armor/

Re: Armor
Hi @AKWillows1 . I don't know what your Netgear router configuration is; but I will share my experience any way.
I too experienced chronic Internet drops. I made too changes that got rid of them completely:
- I don't have Bitdefender Total Security installed on any Apple devices, except for one iPod Touch.
- Using the router's Web page, I disabled Daisy Chain. Daisy Chain is usually ON by default and it works well, but ONLY WHEN YOU HAVE MORE THAN ONE SATELLITE. If your Netgear network consist of a router and ONLY ONE satellite, Daisy Chain should be disabled.
