RBR50 Netgear Armor 'Activation Failed'

I'm continually getting emails from Netgear asking me to activate Netgear Armor. I've tried on 4 or 5 separate occasions while connected via Wifi at home to the router and each time, I get the 'Activation Failed' - We could not activate NETGEAR Armor on your router. Try again. I try again and same thing. Never able to successfully activate. Anyone have the same experience and figure out how to activate successfully?

 

Router Firmware Version V2.5.0.38

Hi @bigrizz, welcome to the community! Is the Orbi setup in router mode or AP mode?

Hi @DexterJB, I am having the same issue. I recently reset my RBR50 system (1 main, 2 satellites) and now when I try to activate Armor it fails.

Thanks.

Hello JED06 & Griffy4u, 

 

May you try disabling/enabling remote management and then activating Armor. Please refer to the KB article linked below.

Just tried disabling and re-enabling remote management and still can't activate. It's getting comical now.

I've also the same issue to activate ARMOR.

Solution stated in the community does not work and this issue is already several months old.

Please Netgear, post a proper solution
