So I am thinking of giving Netgear a chance again. No offense to Netgear fans, I love the Netgear hardware, but have hated the software. Sorry the GUI looks like the same GUI from 2005. It works I know, but its boring and ugly to me. To each their own.
So I decided to order the Nighthawk XR500 since its using DumaOS. DumaOS looks great. Its modern and has lots of features. Here is the one thing I cant find. Does it or will it support Netgear Armor (Bitdefender)? I am hoping Armor is link Asus AIprotect and is built in to the router. I love having that extra layer of protection. I see the R7000p supports it. Is Armor going to be for Netgears Gui\OS only? I saw it says Nighthawk models. Thanks everyone for your help.
Sorry one easy question also. Can you assign one Lan to be an extra Wan (Dual Wan)?
Hi Madhatter, great to hear you've ordered the XR500. We're sure you'll love it!
It doesn't currently support Netgear Armor, I am unsure if this is on the roadmap or not so I can't give you a definitive answer. I will log it as a request though so we can discuss the possibility.
Me as well looking for Armor update for R8500. I am ready to switch from Norton to Armor, but, need to know if it is supported on R8500 to begin with. Also, if I buy Bitdefender Family Pack now for $$, and later on Netgear releases Armor, will it be free for me as I already for Bitdefender Family Pack? I read that Armor includes Bitdefender Family Pack in its subscription by default. Thanks.
