how to activate armor in RS500?

just bought RS500 and set up as AP, with IOS app, there is no Security option on app which all articles saying that it’s the way to activate Armor. i tried this app on iphone 16 pro max and ipad pro, but both has no “Security” option.

If you set up in AP mode, then Armor won't work. Armor requires router mode for it to work.

I don't think NG has a W7 extender available yet. 
I've use a EAX80 with my RS600 for extended WiFi coverage. Just doesn't support 6Ghz or BE mode is all. You'll get the 2.4 and 5Ghz and all modes up to AX thru it though.
