I disabled Armor and performed a Factory Reset the unit. Problems solved! I appreciate your fast response.
I am extremely disappointed in Netgear Tech Support. I submitted 3 separate trouble tickets on this over the last 3 weeks. They would just cancel the ticket and finally suggest that I purchase a support plan. This is after I showed that I just bought the unit in April and it was within the 90-day period. I own multiple routers, NAS units, Powerlines and switches from Netgear. Over a 5-year period, I have received substantial support from the Community and horrible support from tech support. This is with having Level 3 paid support plans on some devices. Netgear-Be-Better!
