    Hi McDoogie,

     

    Did you set port forwarding on the modem using the port number used for Remote management? The reason it works might be becuase of the modem forwarded the request to the router.

     

    Regards,

Because the remote access didn't work.I was able to get this to work at a client's house with the same router but they had a time Warner cable modem. the modem was in bridge mode, and I enabled remote management on the nighthawk router, and it work, I was done in like 5 minutes. But it seems uverse is much different since they dont have a bridge mode. I don't know If my modem settings are correct or what. I'll check in the packet filters when I get home
