Remotly access r8000 Router to re-start

How  can I remotly access my r8000 Router to restart it.  For some reason, it is showing offline.  I've tried the http://www.routerlogin.net or com browser access although after many attempts with several different browsers, I'm getting an error page.  Is the page down or what?  Perhaps this method only works when I'm using the same Wifi network.  Not sure.  Any suggestions would be most helpful.  Thans!

       So, some place where a private IP address like "192.168.1.1" would be
    completely useless as a pointer to your (remote) router.

     

       Visit http://netgear.com/support , put in your model number, and look
    for Documentation.  Get the User Manual.  Read.  Look for "Remote
    Management" and "To use remote access".

       That's a question?

     

       To what is it connected?  How remote is it?

       Swell.  Are there _words_ on that "an error page"?  Care to share?

       A useful problem description would reveal what you did and what
    happened when you did it.  As usual, showing actual actions (commands)
    with their actual results (error messages, LED indicators, ...) can be
    more helpful than vague descriptions or interpretations.

     

       Note that if there's a serious communication problem with a router
    like this, then communicating with it well enough to tell it to restart
    may be hopeless.

    • Remote in the sence that I'm in another Wifi network in another State, far way.  The log in attemps simply "Time Out"  See the attachment below.
