ReadyShare drive
Is there another app that will allow me to remotely connect to an external drive that is connected to my router via usb? apparently Genie is not compatable with my model
No remote access - neither the remote access by port and https nor the remote access in the Nighthawk App - has any relation to the ReadyCloud feature. There is no need to enable these to gain ReadyCloud access (via the readyCloud portal or using any ReadyCloud App).

Yes. When you get home, set up remote access on the R9000 router.
This will take you through the process of creating a mynetgear account, if you haven't done this already. This is what you will use to access the local stuff with the ReadyCloud app.

On the R9000 (or any other Nighthawk router supporting ReadyCloud) head to [Advanced] -> [ReadyShare] -> [ReadyCloud] to register the router for ReadyCloud using your Netgear account.
Remote access (neither in the Nighthawk App nor in the Genie Web UI) is not related.

Heaven only knows what that means.
Not related to what? The phases of the Moon? I agree with that.
