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 ...

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.
NG has removed web browser based Remote Management from newer versions of FW. Seems to have started around 2020
Is only available now.

Anywhere access works just fine through the Netgear Nighthawk app.
Perhaps scennimo could explain what they want to achieve. The app, or the old style way in? Any what do they want to do when they get in there?
Not sure what you mean. I just want to be able to remote access my router. Right now I cannot. The option to turn on remote access is not available on the page. In the app I found Anywhere Access. It is enabled and has been but it does not seem to work. I still cannot access my router from the outside world. I also want to access a webpage, a server and cannot either. I was able to do all this with my prior router.
