I can no longer connect to the R9000 with the advertised "Anywhere Access"

It appears that with version 1.0.5.42 I can no longer connect to the R9000 with the advertised "Anywhere Access" feature of the Android Nighthawk App. Doing a Factory Reset of all settings results in the same behavior.

 

Wiping the R9000 and loading 1.0.5.40 allows me to access via Anywhere Access on the Android Nighthawk  App once again.

    Something strange has happened to my R7000P.

     

    That has also become lost to Anywhere Access.

     

    No new firmware installed there that I can recall. So might be more an app thing than the firmware.

     

    I wonder if other users of the R9000 pr R7000P have seen the same thing.

     

    At the same time, Anywhere Access continues to work on the Android app for another Netgear router I use.

      Probably not a data point your are looking for.  My R9000 is running Voxel firmware V1.0.4.67HF. 

       

      Using an Android tablet connected over the internet, the Nighthawk application connects via Anywhere Access without problem.

       

      Using the same Android tablet, I can tunnel in to the LAN using Open VPN and use a web browser (Firefox) to connect to the user interface and have full control of the R9000.
