What is going on with Anywhere Access? I have multiple routers that was all working fine a couple weeks ago. I can’t enable, disable, or see my routers anymore. All it says is something went wrong. Please try again. Tried both routerlogin.net and nighthawk app for weeks now.

What routers are they? What firmware is on them?

What mobile device are you using for Anywhere Access? Android? iOS?

Did you enable Anywhere Access on the browser graphical user interface (GUI)?

  R7800s both routers are up to date. R7800-V1.0.2.90. However. A week or two ago. There was a different kind of update. I can’t remember what exactly it said but it ain’t worked since then. And it didn’t change firmware versions

    Perhaps you are referring to the "language". That seems to be related to the language of the browser graphical user interface (GUI).
    
    This has been known to get "disconnected" from the firmware. There have been temporary issues like that in the past.
    
    Try reinstalling the current firmware.

    Anywhere Access works fine here in the latest R7800 firmware and the Android app.

  Same. Mine hasn't been working for about a week and a half or more.
  
  Can't enable or disable anywhere access using the app. Just gives a "Something went wrong. Try again" message. Repeatedly.
  
  Tried resetting the router and doing a fresh setup as well.
  
  Worked perfectly fine up until now.
