NightHaw app has no "Anywhere Access" in settings for C7000v2

My AC1900 Wifi Cable Modem Router

Model: C7000v2

firmware version: v1.03.01

app version: 2.7.61379

 

I'm unable to configure Anywhere Access, or remote access, on the app since there is no such option in Settings

 

Is "Anywhere Access" not available for my router model?

    Did you check the bit in the manual on Remote Management?

    You'll have to set that up before you can use it on the apps.

     

    Visit the support pages:

    Support | NETGEAR

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

    You might get more help, and find earlier questions and answers about your hardware, in the appropriate section for your device. That's probably here:

      By far not every Netgear router does support Anywhere Access. Look on How do I enable or disable Anywhere Access on my router using the Nighthawk app? for the models listed under "This article applies to:". Features not available on the router accessed by the Nightawk App will be invisible.

      Nope! Completely unrelated. Anywhere Access does not expose the router WAN/Internet interface to the wild Internet. Much more it's a cloud solution. Remote Management MUST NOT be enabled for Anywhere Access.
