    Manuals are always a good place to start.

    Visit the support pages:

    Support | NETGEAR

    Feed in your model number and check the documentation for your hardware.

    Check the section in the manual Use VPN to Access Your Network

    While many questions about routers are generic and could be answered anywhere, some things need specialist knowledge.

    If you have problems in future, you might get more help, and find earlier questions and answers specific to your device, in the appropriate section for your hardware. That's probably here:

        That's good to hear.

         

        Enjoy your remote access.

         

        It is a pity Netgear killed ReadyCLOUD.
