D6400 Remote access to configure for high speed fibre

Hello

have installed genie app on my iPad , with the intention to remote connect to my friends router to help optimise it.....can this be done ? Or must I be within Wi-fi range of my friends router ?

are there specific settings for the d600 to work with fast fibre ? Many thanks in advance

    Had hoped that someone with knowledge of this router could help me, but alas I was wrong.

    Permitting the D6400 does support remote App access - somebody with local [W]LAN access must - using the Genie - enable the App remote administration, and register it to (yor friends) [My]Netgear Account. If he does trust in you, there is no other way than sharing the credentials for the Netgear Account, logout in the Genie App in case you are logged in to your own account, the login to your friends Netgear Account - in the Remote you have his router

    No experience with this model I'm afraid.

        So please read it again, and tell me what you haven't understood.

        Yes.

        No. You just can't "just" install the App and connect to any router if the router was not configured for the App remote administration while connected on the [W]LAN. Beyond, the routers App Remote Administration can only be enabled for one [My]Netgear Account. Nothing I have not talked about before.
