WAN access of RAX70
I use port-forwarding for some of my home automation and legacy video equipment. However, I cannot figure out how to update the port-forward details on my RAX70 from a remote location (via WAN). No problems doing it via LAN. I have also tried through Nighthawk, but it seems Nighthawk is more proficient on monitoring than revising. Is it possible update port-forwarding from a remote location? If so, what are the steps, or help me with a link to instructions. My router is currently in Router Mode and I utilize NetGear's static IP address service (xxxxx.mynetgear.com) at the remote locations.
About me: I have an intermediate programing skill level and know my Internet IP address, ports, etc., and how to use them. Also, I had no problems port-forwarding with my last router. Thanks.

Over the years Netgear has tightened up "remote management". You may have hit a brickwall.
Why is the Remote Management feature being removed from NETGEAR routers? - NETGEAR Support
All that is left it the Nghthawk app:

Maybe this something that you need to do in VPN territory.
Just another user with time on their hands.
