RAX120 - Remote Management option GONE after V1.2.1.22 ?!
Yesterday, my RAX120 auto-updated to V1.2.1.22.
I now see that "Remote Management" is gone!
The opton is no longer under 'advanced', but has been replaced by a single option for "Web Service Management" where you can turn https on or off. No other options, NO way to turn off or on or manage remote management.
What gives? Is this a bug? Intentional? The help text on that option still fully documents the feature. I was am am relying on this. Taking it 'away' is not documented in the patch notes.

Have you tried using HTTPS and see what happens? It may ge a GUI bug or a change in how they do things. Who knows, its as clear as mud. The R7000 has had the same treatment except the rest of the info is there I believe. Maybe when you try to connect from outside your network it becomes more apparent?
Thx for all 3 replies.
The app (latest version) has no way to manipulate remote access and I don't think it ever did.
On the web interface, I can enable HTTPs but it has no real effect as it doesn't turn on or off any remote capability. I.e. I am missing any settings for Ports etc.
If I turn it on, I can't remote into the external IP (on the port I set earlier) anymore (See screenshot)
The help file still talks about all the remote options - it literally seems like Netgear's update is buggy. If they did remove it (why?!) they didn't even make the helpfile reflect that...
PS,
static routes: nothing either (other than able to set static IPv4 routes which i have not set)
I think this has been changed and now is done via the cloud and you have to use the app.
- or "Whatever's below 'Static Routes'" possibly if the app does not help.
