Unable to access Nighthawk Admin from WWW

I have a Nighthawk WIfi Router that is sitting behind a Spectrum Arris TM1602 broadband modem.   I am able to access the browser based admin from within my lan but wish to access the admin from out...

So what model# is this router? R or RAX? 

Does HTTP or HTTPS and 192.168.1.1 work in any browser? 

Try a different PC or laptop to compare? 

 

If all else fails, a factory reset maybe needed.

    Its an MR50.  

    10.0.0.1 is the routers IP address from my LAN.  Using both Chrome and safari I can login.  I have tried both a mac and an iphone to test from an external perspective.  As mentioned externally I am able to access other services I did port forwarding with (one at least has a web UI and functions fine, other forwards include SSH and MOSH and both those work fine too.

     

    Thanks

      I believe NG removed any kind of remote management access from all routers. Only mobile apps like Nighthawk app can access routers from the WAN side. 

       

      Is this a mobile cell phone router? MR50 is not a valid model#.
