How to Turn Off Anywhere Access Using Routerlogin.net?

I am trying to turn off Anywhere Access on my RAX50. My iPhone is connected to it by WiFi. In the Nighthawk app it tells me I must connect locally to turn Anywhere Access off.

How do I connect locally using the iPhone? I do not have the ability to make an ethernet connection.

Is there a way to turn Anywhere Access off using routerlogin.net? The RAX50 User Manual says nothing about it.

    Kitsap, unfortunately, the R9000 and the RAX50 are different. You probably saw the screenshots I posted in DSL reports with the error messages. As soon as I go to Settings-Anywhere Access and then try to turn off the toggle switch for Anywhere Access, the error message pops up. There are no hot links anywhere else on the page associated with the lines or elsewhere on the page.

    I’ll try to send a message to support@netgear.com with the link to this thread. Netgear hasn’t provided specific written guidance for the Anywgere Access feature for the RAX50 in the user manual or elsewhere on the Support site. The info available applies to several models, but it doesn’t work for the RAX50. I seem to be up the creek without a paddle.

    Thanks for your efforts. If I find a solution, I’ll post it in this thread.
