Re: NETGEAR Armor activating problem.
Netgear Armor - activating trial from orbi app fails. Message simply says: Error Failed to Subscribe. click Try Again button and the process simply repeats itself. Can anyone help here? Using IOS with App Version 2.4.12.5, Firmware v2.3.5.30 This looks like this is the only option to activate - doesn't appear I can do it from the netgear website.

Re: NETGEAR Armor activating problem.
Hello
I too am having this issue. Is there somewhere where a solution has been posted? I tried authorizing through the andriod app, and it failed to authorize. The security link on the orbi router's status page doesn't work. I tried installing it on my computer to see if that would somehow authorize it on the modem, didn't work. It actually said that my free trial had ended (I never started it). The android app and modem firmware are both up to date, and I have restarted the modem. Are there additional instructions to authorize and install this?
Thanks

Re: NETGEAR Armor activating problem.
The following was my situation ...
A. My system existed before Armor came out.
B. Had Circle in place already.
and what worked for me...
1. I reset my router - paperclip in opening - press internal button until light flashes
2. log in as administrator with original admin password - password
3. system then automatically installed Armor security
4. had to setup Circle all over again.
5. had to redo all my settings for the router
My 2 cents....
A royal pain for existing user setups wanting to use the newer functionality of Armor.
Not sure why Netgear doesn't / didn't give this answer. Thought I would have gotten somewhere quicker once someone starts emailing me. (this solution is mine - not from netgear). If it's out there maybe somebody can supply a link to that published forum's answer.
A little dissapointing and a bit frustrating - but hope this works for other folks.
I would suggest Netgear googling what Customer Centric means.
- for those who are curious, but too lazy (A customer centric way of doing business is a way that provides a positive customer experience before and after the sale in order to drive repeat business, enhance customer loyalty and improve business growth.)
Wifi 6 appears to be the future - I will be doing a whole lot more research before making my next purchase.

Re: NETGEAR Armor activating problem.
Thanks for spending your time with Bitdefender's forum asking for assistance. I did receive an email from them 2 days ago apologizing for taking so long to get back with me and saw your log with them. By then I had figured out my own solution to get security installed on the netgear product, so their message back to me was simply stating that they saw my trial period was activated and wanted to know if I still had any issues. Please see my response on this forum as to my solution to what appears to me to have been Netgear problem.

Re: NETGEAR Armor activating problem.
I think I left out the most important step in yesterday's posting - I chose NEW SETUP from the Orbi/Android APP. When I did this, I saw the app installing the security software and I was able to activate. Do you have to reset the router to factory settings? I don't know.

Re: NETGEAR Armor activating problem.
Hello RobOrbiUser,
Welcome to the community! May you let us know if your RBR50 is set into router or AP mode and providing us with the current firmware version of the router.
Also, did you purchase Armor using the Orbi app or a website?
Thanks,
Christian

Re: NETGEAR Armor activating problem.
Thanks for providing a solution to the problem that works! Unfortunately, I had to do a hard reset my router and treat it as a new setup, but once it was completed, it activated the Armor account automatically.
