Some error occurred while enabling/disabling remote management

Not sure if this changes responses, but trying to enable Anywhere Access throws the errors originally specified in this thread.

Certainly does. Remote access has a specific meaning in Netgearspeak. It goes nowhere near MyNetgear as an intermediary and dives into your router from afar.

Anywhere Access is enabled by default. 

When using the mobile app, there is an option to turn it off:

• Settings
• Anywhere Access

There is no option for that in the GUI.

When you use the app, there are two options. Anywhere Access and Local Access. You should see Local Access as an option when you are connected to the same wifi network as the router. At some stage the app will ask you for the admin login details for the router.

The RBR850 pukes when you try to enable that same remote access via the mobile app.

What actually happens when use Local Access to connect the app to the RBR850?

As you can see, that message doesn't mean much in the context of Anywhere Access. There is no remote management.

Is the RBR850 registered to the account that you have on the RBR970s?

Just another user with time on their hands.
