It is the general UniFi Network settings page, not a UDR7 page.

Security serviceiThe maker's built-in security service by name, e.g. AiProtection Pro, HomeShield, NETGEAR Armor or eero Plus.

AiProtection Pro1Maker product pagerog.asus.com/us/networking/rog-strix-gs-be12000/specRead 15 October 2026AiProtection row: AiProtection Pro with Router Security Assessment, Malicious Site Blocking, Two-Way IPS and Infected Device Prevention and Blocking.

CyberSecure1Maker product pagestore.ui.com/us/en/products/udr7Read 14 October 2026The store sells Enhanced Cyber Security (CyberSecure upsell, powered by Proofpoint) as a paid add-on, billed yearly. The spec page lists 20,000+ IDS/IPS signatures with CyberSecure.

Security service costiWhat the service costs after any free trial. Basic free means the basic features are free and the full set needs a subscription. When the free and paid tiers share one name, such as HomeShield, it is basic free. NETGEAR Armor has no free tier after its trial, so it is paid. When the paid tier is a separate add-on, such as eero Plus, it is paid.

Free2Maker product pagerog.asus.com/us/networking/rog-strix-gs-be12000Read 15 October 2026The page headline says subscription-free network security. AiProtection Pro runs on a Trend Micro cloud database and no fee is named.

Paid1Maker product pagestore.ui.com/us/en/products/udr7Read 14 October 2026CyberSecure is a separate add-on at $99 per unit and year. The basic IDS/IPS in the gateway is free. Stored as paid because the paid tier is a separate add-on, as for eero Plus.
