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?

Same Nightawk App functionality either way. No big impact on the performance.

Not sure what you want to ask here - yes, you can enable/disable this feature later.

My business requirement is 1. To control my router outside my home, outside my wifi range.
It does really make me uncomfortable, inconvenient l.

Haha, lets go and see.
Put it in this way. The new app should be better the former or existing one, not to degrates.
