Your NETGEAR Armor protection level is a measurement of how well your network is protected against threats. Every device that is connected to your Nighthawk router contributes to your overall score. Scores can range from 0 (Critical) to 99 (Excellent). Low scores are shown in red and high scores are shown in green. For more information, see How do I check my NETGEAR Armor Protection Level?.

Your NETGEAR Armor protection level is recalculated automatically every time you check your score. If your score is low, Armor provides additional recommendations about how to increase it, such as enabling two factor authentication. If you follow Armor's recommendations, your security score increases.
