Nighthawk X6 R8000 - Missing remote management option

Why does my router no longer have the remote management option? I could have swear that I did have it when I first set it up. How can I get this back? Do I need to roll back the firmware? Is Netgear going to fix this?

    They moved it.

     

    It is just the manual that needs fixing:

      They might have moved it but the option to turn on Remote Management is not available.

        What does "Not available" mean? 

         

        Can you see this?

         

        Have you enabled "Always Use HTTPS to Access Router"?

         

        If so, try turning it off.
