R6400V2 REMOTE MANAGEMENT STOPPED WORKING
I have the above router and remote management is enabled both through the router itself at port 8443 and the Nighthawk App. It will work for a week or so, and then stops working. I tried rebooting...
Power cycle the ISP modem and Router OFF for 1 minute then back ON?
Factory reset the router and setup from scratch.
Be aware that NG is moving away from supporting remote management and has been removing this freature from recent FW updates on most NG router products. So only way to do some limited management is by using the Nighthawk app with Anywhere Access enabled.

Thank you
I posted to the Nighthawk Routers section??
I had done a factory reset and restart. I lose access regularly. The real problem isn't that I can't access the router, every week I lose outside access to the home network so I cannot use my Nest thermostat. If I go there and reset the modem, it starts working again for a week, so I started remotely rebooting daily, and that prolonged the time to loss of the network, but didn't fix it. The same thing happened to the R7000 I had as I noted.
That router is 60 miles away from my primary house, and I want to adjust the thermostst before I go!!!
