Hello, I cannot find a way to block Remote Web Access to my Modem/Router. If I browse to my IP address it opens the login page of the Modem/Router> I would like to block remote access. Thanks ...
I tried 2 different connections:
-satellite
-phone mobile data
And they both shows the login page.
So it is open.

You can not disable the web interface on Netgear home devices. In professional models your are remotely connecting using ssh or unsecure telnet and can disable web interface. Only changing the default password can block access to the configuration but a reset can always be performed..
I believe the user is referring to the WAN side access using a public IP address that should be disabled and there seeing accessibility on there CAX30. https://community.netgear.com/t5/Cable-Modems-Routers/CAX30-How-to-block-remote-Web-Access/m-p/2187101#M35596
