Don't be confused: The App based Remote Management is using a cloud system, it does - different from the Remote Login on the router settings - not open the management ports to the wild Internet.
Not all router models are allowing remote management using the Nighthawk App (earlier Genie App). However, I think your R6400 should alow to enable Remote Management while being connected to the local [W]LAN -> How do I enable or disable remote access on my router using the Nighthawk app?
the function degrates , true ?
Shall this function enable in the future ?
I'm also experiencing problems with the remote management utility in the new Nighthawk app and cannot remotely manage my R7000 (which I checked to be sure has the latest firmware).
After doing the initial remote management setup in the Nighthawk app while at home and connected locally to my R7000, I thought I was all set. After just going into the Nighthawk app and selecting the 'Connect Remotely' option, I get taken to a page listing my R7000 and it reports it as 'Disconnected'. I know this is untrue because I'm watching live streamed footage from my Nest cams as I write this post.
What do I need to do to make the remote management functionality work in the Nighthawk app as it used to in the Genie app?
- I enabled remote control on my router, but how can I remote control my router
* with my phone
* outside wifi network(using cellular network)

Once paired, and when away and opening the Nighthawk App it will fail on the local network, and then offer a [Connect Remotely] button.
