Security vulnerability in Orbi RBR20?

[Wulff]

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?

found the easy solution, well hidden:

turn off Armor Bitdefender

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.

Looking for ways to logon via telnet, enable telnet via http://192.168.0.1/debug.htm

then finding the right pid to kill bitdefender is not easy, which pid do I have to kill?
