R7000 V1.0.11.126 -- Remote Management option has disappeared
Hello, I was just looking on the web GUI and noticed that under the Advanced Tab the 'Remote Management' item in the dropdown section on the left under 'Advanced Setup' is no longer there. I pre...
NG seems to be moving to using the Nighthawk app for some and limited remote management options. Otherwise NG has removed the web broswser based remote access which we can only presume maybe for security reasons.
As far as I see, the Nighthawk app is only usable locally on the same LAN as the R7000. Even though the app has a setting for "Anywhere Access", turning that on for "Out-Of-Home Controls" doesn't do anything.
Yes access from anywhere should work if you enable it and are away from the home network.
It won't work for me. Am I missing something?
I noticed the free Netgear DDNS (provided by No-IP) has also been disabled in v128. This DDNS is what I previously used for the URL to access the Remote Management on both of my R7000s.
Anywhere access via the app works for me too. Not that it matters, but it may help, I noticed one slight change: last week when I connected localled or via anywhere when I wanted to change it to the other, it showed me both options, now it only shows me the alternative to how I am currently connected. So if I'm locally connected it'll give the option to connect via anywhere and vice-versa.
As for the DDNS, via noip.com, that seems to work the same for me as before. Just in case you missed it, 12 months ago or so, noip started to be more restrictive with their free hostnames by getting the user to confirm access once a month.
Please do note that on moving to 128 I have not made any changes that would affect these things, they just work for me.
