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?

I already had linked MR60 on my.neargear.com since last year and i could use it fine until I upgraded firmware and nighthawk app, after that nothing seems to work.
And Yes, Web service management/local management, I checked for "Always use HTTPS to access router'.

Wow. This is a fix. You are the man. Unbelievable! Unchecked for "Always use HTTPS to access router' let me remote using Nighthawk app now. Curiously, is this a bug? What is the purpose of this "Always use HTTPS to access router'? Should it force securely accessing to admin console? Thank you so much.
