Security vulnerability in Orbi RBR20?

Recently bought a RBR20 with one month Netgear Armor activated.

Today I received messages from my Synology NAS that it blokked the RBR20 ipaddres because of to many wrong logon attempts.

It seems Netgear Armor is the cause, what can I do about this?

    Hi Wulff, 

     

    May you check to see if your RBR20 is on the latest firmware. I would also recommend disabling Armor to see if you're still receiving the messages.

      Thanks Christian, Yes the router is at the latest level, automatically updated at install.

      There is no option where I can influence any setting in Armor (at least I can't find one) so disabling would be difficult.

      I will search in the forum if this is possible but I think not.
