RBR50 Netgear Armor 'Activation Failed'

[bigrizz]

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.

Please Netgear, post a proper solution
