Netgear Nighthawk RAX120
I have three Nighthawk routers at different locations. Recently my ability to remotely access and perform management and rebooting stopped. Can anyone help with what I might do to regain that feature?

What 3 routers do you have?
Is this thru the Nighthawk app?

All three are RAX 120 Routers on 400 MBPS connections. All three worked great with Remote until a few weeks ago and something changed and cut Remote off on all three routers. I can access the router via the app when I am on that network. One is 35 mile from home and one is 15 miles from home - quite inconvenient when issues arise.
Is this thru the Nighthawk app?
What version of the app are you using?
Is there a screen capture of what you see that you can post here?
What Firmware version is currently loaded?
What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?
Do you know if these 120s are v1s or v2s?

By "remote" do you mean Anywhere Access?
Other remote options are disappearing as Netgear blocks seemingly unsafe ways in.
