    Thanks for the reply. Yes 2 different ISPs. I use one for my computers and the other just for home smart devices.

    I actually solved the issue. I had a brain dump, I just needed to connect my iPad to the that SSID then when I open the app IT has the configuration for that router... duh! LOL :)

Separate in what sense? Two different Internet services?

 

And what do you want to manage? The apps can handle only some stuff.

 

I have two ISP inputs, with an R7000P and an R7800 as routers, perhaps like your arrangement.

 

I can do some stuff with Remote Management and Remote Access. But I am on the Android app.

      That works for local access. I thought you might be interested in managing these things from afar.

       

      In my case, the two networks are far enough apart for me not to be able to connect by wifi. "Remote" does it.
