Netgear armor

Hello
Looking at signing up for Netgear armor. We have an Xbox one hardwired to the router. Does Netgear armor slow or interfere with the Xbox functionality
Model: R7000P|Nighthawk AC2300 Smart WiFi Dual Band Gigabit Router

Re: Netgear armor

Netgear has set up a community forum specifically for the Armor product. Most of the people who watch that forum are more likely to have experience with Armor and know how to work it better than those of us who follow this "general Orbi" forum. Might be more likely to find someone who has a solution if the question is posted there:

Thank you.

Owners of the R7000P hang out here. This is a technical question, probably better answered here than in a general slot where there is next to no traffic.

 

In general, anything that strains the router's processor risks slowing things down. Armor, Circle, QoS, all have been implicated in speed hits.

 

I didn't notice this when beta testing the R7000P. But even if it does put a brake in things, it may not be big enough to be noticeable.
