Same issue. It's been months now. RBR750 running firmware V4.6.8.2 can't use Anywhere Access. Netgear please fix.

    Has to be enabled using the Orbi app under Settings. It's enabled by default.

      Well aware of that process. Same resulting message for months. Resulting message reads...
      "Some error occurred while
      enabling/disabling Anywhere Access"
      Config = RBR750 with 3 satellites firmware V4.6.8.2.

      What next?

        I have a new two weeks old 960 series that I can not enable Anywhere Access. I have updated to the latest firmware and updated the app. The latest firmware was released a few weeks ago and the app a couple of days ago. This has been on going and there is nothing left to be done. PLEASE FIX THE APP.
