Nighthawk AC1900 remote access doesn't connect

I have successfully set up my modem for a while now and have no issues using the Android app to manage the Router locally.  However, I recently logged into the local web interface to turn on the remote access functions of the router to manage while away.  It shows that was successful.  I screen copied the IP and port info from the web interface but it will still not communicate with the router outside of the local network.  I have tried several different browsers to access it and the Android app doesn't show any choice for remote management.  Any pointers you can offer out there?

 

Thanks

    Yep,

     

    Thanks for the input.  I've only had it for 3 years purchased new so... welcome to the world of technology.

    What model modem do you have? C####

    NG has removed web page remote access from most of there products due to security concerns. Only way to access products is thru NGs mobile apps like Nighthawk or Orbi apps?

        Nighthawk app you can access remotely with Anywhere Access for limited monitoring and changes.

      I have the Nighthawk App on my phone but there is nothing there about remote access like I've found in the manual or KB search.  My app version is 2.42.1.4373

        Under settings in the app, do you see Anywhere Access?
