Add modem to Access Anywhere by IP Address?

Do I have to be on the local network to add a device to Access Anywhere? I am remote and have the ip address of the CAX30 modem and I'd like to add it to my app.

    My memory is that you may need to be on the local network when you set up Anywhere Access.

     

    How do I enable or disable Anywhere Access on my NETGEAR or Orbi router? - NETGEAR Support

     

    After that you can use Anywhere Access on any number of mobile clients as long as you have the login credentials.

     

    You can also connect to a pile of Netgear devices. I have two Androids that can talk to a two routers (and an AP mode router) on different Internet accounts. The routers will need to be on the same MyNetgear "cloud" service.
