So where would it be?
First suggestion is to use a real computer with a web browser connected to your RAX10 via local Wi-Fi or an Ethernet cable and go through the user interface.

Attempting to use a mobile application to configure or troubleshoot a wireless router is a work in progress with a long ways to go.

It sort of makes sense as Anywhere Access is a mobile device.
But it would still be nice to have a GUI option.
