What security is there without Netgear Armor
I just purchased the Orbi mesh wifi router for a premium over other mesh wifi products. I was pretty surprised I need to pay an additional $70/year for netgear armor. Internet security is important. What security does the router provide if I do not purchase this upgrade?
Thank you
