What does this mean in the 2.3.1.44 firmware?

Release notes for .44 say

• Fixes the issue where the Armor activation fails if the device is offline

What does this mean? I must have missed a memo about something called Armor.

Thanks. I assume Armor only operates when the Orbi is in Router mode. Mine is in AP mode.
