How to Launch Vulnerability Scan?
As the title says, how can I launch a vulnerability scan with netgear armor on my NightHawk R7000P? There is nowhere in the menu to launch one and I have had it since launch and no scan has been perf...
Hi StevenOrbi, please see my previous response:
Hi all, adding to this, when a device is added to Orbi or Nighthawk router running Armor the scan should be completed at the time of it being added. Once the first scan is completed the device will get added to a scan queue and a vulnerability scan will occur once a week. If the time comes for a particular device to be scanned for vulnerabilities and that device is not online or connected to that router's network then the scan will be skipped and the device will be added to the bottom of the queue. The device that is on the bottom of the queue will have to wait for all other devices to be scanned before it gets around to it again.

As you can see from screen shot the scan hasn’t run in 16 days.
Hi StevenOrbi, was the AV Receiver always connected to the network and online the whole time?

- Yes. When the initial scan ran and identified the vulnerability, I downloaded latest firmware. Been watching for another scan to see if new firmware resolves the vulnerability. It’s been connected by wire the entire time.
