What does NETGEAR Armor provide to users on a WiFi 6 guest network?

My RAX50 Wifi6 router uses a primary SSID and two guest SSIDs for 2.4G and 5G bands. I see no subsection in the community for Security, so I’ll place this question here.

What value does Netgear Armor by Bitdefender provide to the users of the Guest network on my Nighthawk RAX50 AX5400 WiFi6 Dual-Band 6-Stream 5.4 Gbps Router?

Incidentally, the associated products feature on this message board seems primitive. It cannot bring up my router whether I type RAX50, AX5400 or both.
  • The features of NETGEAR Armor remain the same, whether a device is connected to the router through a primary SSID or through a guest SSID.  For example, a smart home device is equally protected in both cases.

    RAX50 appears for me in the associated box when I type it in.

  • It came up with this reply, but many times, when I type in RAX50 or AX540,0 I just get an endless searching indicator on my iPhone 15 with 300 MB plus Spectrum connection. Guess I’ll just be patient when it occurs.
