Can't remote to MR60 from Nighthawk app
I owned MR60 and R9000 Nighthawk. Last year, I turned on remote management on all my routers and could remote fine using web browser/nighthawk app on both devices from internet connection and my internal network. Until I had updated MR60 firmware and recognized that MR60 admin page removed remote management for web gui. After that, I can't remote my MR60 using app anymore. Anyway, connecting through Wifi, I have no issue for remote when use web gui and app for both my MR60 and R9000. I can connect R9000 when access it through my internet phone. Anyone know why I can't connect MR60 from internet when using Nighthawk app?
My MR60 firmware is V1.1.6.124_2.0.59.

Netgear has been removing things like that, probably following security issues.
We are now left with Anywhere Access.
Have you tried that?
It used to go under a different name:
Remote Management is now Anywhere Access in the Nighthawk and Orbi apps | Answer | NETGEAR Support
yes, I had tried to turn of/on for anywhere access on Nighthawk app but it didn't help. I tried to turn off my firewall if it might help, but still no luck. This MR60 is behind my firewall since its first day when it's web gui still supported remote management. Thank you for your comments anyway.

You have to enable it on the device before you can mess around with the app.
You also have to link to a MyNetgear cloud account.
Is there anything set up in Web Services Management?
