How to disable / deactivate Armor on RBR50?
Hey team,
I've enabled Armor on my Orbi RBR50 but decided I no longer wish to use it, is there a way to remove it without needing to factory reset the entire device
I had the same issue as everyone else. Activated the Armor trial and several sites I normally accessed were no longer functioning. Did a complete reset and as soon as I opened the app it re-activated Armor. I swapped my old R7000 back in and immediately was able to access the sites I was having trouble with. That was enough for me to return the Orbi back to the store. I hope a more fully baked solution is forthcoming from Netgear.
My internet speed droped after I enebled Armor ... Even though togle is disabled now ... Still slower speed.
Called techinical support and he told me to reset the whole router ... I dont know if this will help actually or is it linked to the account.
Also, I dont know how it is posible that this expensive mesh system doesnt have option to save your router configuration.
Im thinking to return it ... since most likley there is no solution for this
- My internet speed is in the dirt, as well. I've been messing with this thing for too long to be able to return it.
I reckon I'll sell it on ebay and go with something else. Hi icompany, you can backup the Orbi settings and restore it later on. You can check page 107 and 108 of the user manual on the link below for the steps.
