Excessive port scanning issues on my network
My ISP has told me that there is excessive port scanning coming from my network... Can the new Netgear Armor help identify and resolve this issue? I have cameras, lights, thermostats, alexa, and other devices that may be the culprit.
Thanks in advance

Could you get a less vague description of the offensive activity from
them? Target(s)? Time dependence? Any actual information at all?

I know nothing about Netgear Armor, but I doubt it.

How about a Windows system infected with malware?
With no real information on which to base anything, I'd suggest
disabling/disconnecting various sets of devices, to see if the source
can be determined. Pure guesswork: I'd worry least about an R7000 with
current firmware, not much about Internet-of-Junk gizmos, and most about
any Windows system without good malware protection. But what do I know?

A better place to start might be the logs for your R7000.
Visit the support pages:
Support | NETGEAR
Feed in your model number and check the documentation for your hardware.
Check the section in the manual View Logs of Router Activity.
