RAX50 - Can't access Web Admin Page
This 'Nighthawk' experience has been an absolute dumpster fire. Don't know when Netgear decided you NEED a Web Account to use your personal equipment, but here we are.
I had to set up my Router through the app. And it works...mostly...but is watered down and missing most of my needed functionality.
Want to access the Web Interface from computer to access 'PRO-FEATURES' (like, seeing the IP addresses of connected devices)...but after successfully logging into the router I am prompted to log into my Netgear account. Whether I enter my email and password or email and one-time password the result is the same:
"Something went wrong. Try again." Have tried multiple browsers on my MacBook...
In the app on my iPhone, I can't disable Anywhere Access. Says I must be connected to my network first. I'm connected to Wi-Fi, have Private Relay and VPN turned off, and don't have any other IP masking tools I can think of.
Also can't update the firmware. Says an error occurred. Any suggestions welcome

Not sure that I follow most of that.
The best way to access the Web Admin Page in your subject is through a wired network connection with a web browser and the graphical user interface (GUI).
How do I log in to my NETGEAR wireless router? | Answer | NETGEAR Support
The app is a basic interface that handles only some of the things that you can do with the GUI. The app also relies on Anywhere Access and an Internet connection, usually via MyNetgear cloud.
You may have to use a local wifi connection to get the ball rolling.
When it comes to the world of Apple, this may help:
