Netgear Armor on RBR750 not available

Ater several days of significant connection issues after a Comcast outage, I paid for and reactivated the Netgear Armor subscription.  As part of trying to fix the Internet connection issues, I have swapped out modems a few times and have renamed my wireless network a few times.  In the process of doing all this, I seem to have lost my subscription to Netgear and can find no way to activate.  Because the warranty is past on the router, I can't get any tech support on the Armor subscription.  

 

All firmware/software is current.

FW  is 4.6.5.14 whcih I had checked and was shown to be current. The app and web would only let me purchase a new subscription.

 

However, Netgear Armor started working again on its own so the problem resolved itself.

Re: Netgear Armor on RBR750 not available

Is armor appearing on the RBRs web page or in the Orbi app? 

 

What FW version is loaded on the RBR?

Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.
