Christian_R completely new there should be a control to enable Access Anywhere control in the routers Web UI...
Newer router User Manuals (e.g. Nighthawk AX8 User Manual from p.110) just make a mess mixing the terms "Remote Access" in the section title following by "Setup Remote Management" and later on for using what is configued above "Use Remote Access".
None of this is related to the Access Anywhere, except the next completely confusing section titled "Remotely Access Your Router Using the Nighthawk App".

Before you can use remote access with the Nighthawk app, you must update your
router’s firmware and download the latest Nighthawk app for your mobile device."
The key that Access Anywhere (formerly named Remote Management, but not as per above using na exposed port 8080!) can only be enabled in the App - and never on the router Web UI.
