    Remote management has been removed some firmware versions ago mostly due to security concerns.

        Yes if you set it up.

         

        Remote Management is now Anywhere Access in the Nighthawk and Orbi apps | Answer | NETGEAR Support

         

        By the way, don't expect much from your router. According to Netgear's manual for this device, not always the most reliable source of information, the LAN and WAN ports support only 10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX. That makes it slower than many newer internet services and most modern network hardware. This may not matter to you, but be warned that it will hobble you if you ever sign up for faster Internet, anything faster than 100 Mbps is a waste of your money.

        It also slows down whatever is going on in your local network. Newer devices support at least 1000BASE-TX.
