What is NETGEAR Armor Anyway?

It’s bundled with many NETGEAR routers and is designed to protect all devices connected to your home network—from phones and laptops to smart TVs and baby monitors. Pretty solid protection, but it comes at a cost.

Usually, you get a free trial (often 30 days), after which NETGEAR Armor automatically rolls into a paid subscription unless you step in and say “no thanks.”

Common Reasons People Cancel NETGEAR Armor

You're not weird for wanting out. Some of the top reasons people cancel:

• They’re using another antivirus or security software.
• They didn’t even know it auto-renewed.
• They don’t feel the features justify the price.
• They’re simply not using it.

No shame. Let’s move on to what you actually came here for: canceling it.

How to Cancel NETGEAR Armor Subscription

Here’s the part that matters. NETGEAR Armor can be canceled either through the Nighthawk app or the MyNETGEAR web portal, depending on how you signed up. Let’s break it down.

Option 1: Cancel Through the Nighthawk App

If you activated NETGEAR Armor through the Nighthawk app, here’s what to do:

1. Open the Nighthawk App
   Launch the app on your phone. Make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to activate NETGEAR Armor.
2. Go to Settings
   Tap the menu (usually three lines or a gear icon), and find the NETGEAR Armor option.
3. Manage Subscription
   From here, you should see a link to manage your subscription. This may take you to a Bitdefender or Apple/Google subscription page, depending on your platform.
4. Turn Off Auto-Renew
   This is the key step. Look for the option to disable auto-renew. It won’t cancel immediately, but it will prevent you from getting charged next cycle.
5. Confirm
   You’ll likely get a pop-up or confirmation email. Save it.

Quick tip: If you don’t see the option to manage your subscription, you might have signed up via the NETGEAR website instead. In that case...

Option 2: Cancel via the MyNETGEAR Portal

If you signed up on NETGEAR’s website, here’s the drill:

1. Visit https://my.netgear.com
   Log in with the account tied to your subscription.
2. Click on “My Subscriptions”
   You’ll find this under your account profile or dashboard.
3. Find NETGEAR Armor
   Look through the list and find the NETGEAR Armor subscription.
4. Cancel or Disable Auto-Renew
   There should be a clear option to cancel. Sometimes it’s labeled “Manage Subscription,” other times just “Turn Off Auto-Renew.”
5. Save Confirmation
   Just in case something goes sideways later, keep a record.

If You Signed Up via Apple or Google

This one’s important. If you purchased NETGEAR Armor via your phone’s app store, you’ll need to cancel it through your Apple ID or Google Play account.

For iPhone Users:

• Go to Settings > [Your Name] > Subscriptions
• Tap on NETGEAR Armor
• Hit Cancel Subscription

For Android Users:

• Go into Google Play Store
• Choose Menu > Subscriptions
• Select NETGEAR Armor
• Tap Cancel Subscription

What Happens After You Cancel?

You won’t be left completely in the digital dark. Canceling NETGEAR Armor will stop the auto-renewal of the service, but you’ll usually still get to use the features until your current billing cycle or free trial ends.

Once the subscription fully lapses:

• You’ll lose access to Armor’s security features.
• The router and internet still work just fine—don’t worry.
• You may start seeing prompts to renew or reactivate.

So, if you’re switching to another security service, make sure it’s set up and protecting your devices before NETGEAR Armor goes dark.

How to Make Sure You’re Actually Canceled?

Double-check everything. After canceling, go back to the MyNETGEAR portal, Nighthawk app, or your Apple/Google subscriptions, and confirm that the subscription shows as “Expired” or “Auto-renew: Off.”

It’s also smart to watch your next billing statement to make sure no charges sneak through. If they do, contact NETGEAR support or the payment platform you used (Apple, Google, etc.) and ask for a refund. Be firm, but polite. It usually works.
