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 loca...
- 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.

I’ve tried to find Anywhere Access or Remote Management in routerlogin without the Nighthawk installed on the iPhone at all. They don’t seem to exist for the RAX50 remotelogin version.
Remote Management and Anywhere Access are different things.
Anywhere Access is enabled by default. Unfortunately, while Kitsap is right to advise you that that mobile app is not always the best way to manage your router, in the case of Anywhere Access that's the only option.
Why are you trying to disable Anywhere Access?

The error messages you are getting are expected as long as you are connected via Anywhere Access. Suggest you re-read my post above where I describe how to switch from the Anywhere Access connection to a local connection.
The differences you are coming up with are most likely due to you using the iOS application versus the Android application.
