Not able to remove Armor from old router or sign up on my new router.

Hi,

 

For backgound see this thread: https://community.netgear.com/t5/General-WiFi-Routers-Non/Ny-new-Orbi-RBR750-already-registered-but-... . I marked it as solved since I thought Netgear support would resolve it. That is NOT the case.

 

I currently own a Orbi RBR750 with one satellite registered on my mynetgear account. My old router Orbi RBR50 with a satellite I no longer own but it's still registered on my mynetgear account. The old router is also registered on my armor.netgear.com accounrt and I can not find a way to remove it. I have a month left on my Armor account but Netgear Support claims that I do not have a plan. I can SEE my router and how many days is left in my account. I then thought I could let it go and put Armor on my new router. That isn't possible either. I just get an error message when I try to set up Armor through the Orbi Android app. And Netgear Support doesn't seem able to do anything. I can not removed ,my old router and not add my new. I am now afraid they will renew my Armor account since I paid with a credit card. I can't find the payment method anywhere in my Armor account either. The receipt I got when I renewed last time says:

 

"Your NETGEAR Armor powered by Bitdefender subscription associated with xxxxxxxx@xxxxxxxxx.com has been extended with 12 MONTHS, for 69.99 USD and it will expire on February 05, 2022"

 

Iam totally at a loss here! I can not add my new router to Armor nor remove my old one and in February I may be charged again for a subsription for my old router I no longer have. What can I do next? I have tried with Netgear Support numerous times but they just tell me they are working on it or that they can not see that I have an Armor subscription.

Not much we can do on here since we're the public support forum where members of the public help out. 

Maybe a mod can help out.

Good day @cdysthe and @plemans ,

 

@cdysthe , I'm sorry to hear you've been having issues transfering your NETGEAR Armor subscription to your new router. Please send me a private message with your case number and I'll happily investigate this further. If you do not have a case number, I can create one on your behalf. Be sure to include your email address assocated with My.NETGEAR along with the serial numbers of your old router and your new router.

 

I look forward to hearing from you.

 

Cheers,

Christine
