i can confirm that i too have done the factory reset, and this seems to now activated the orbi armor setup process.

Yeah, I'm 100% sure that the factory reset is the solution for this issue at this point. Annoying, but at least we have the answer.

I was affraid I was going to have to do that as well but at least in my case it endedup up not being necessary. Just updating the Android Orbi app 'fixed' the Armor activation issue for me (I did not touch the settings or firmware on either router or satelite and it activated via the updated app - but I did recently manually update the firmware to the latest, after which the Armor activation still did not work).
