Anywhere Access
I was told by Netgear support that there is an ongoing problem currently using Anywhere Access from my Mobile Device. Does anyone know if there is a timeframe to resolve. When I try to access my router remotely, I continue to get the message that the router cannot be found. I've had the problem before and for some reason it has resolved itself within a day. This time, it has been unreachable for 5 days and still not able to connect.

Re: Anywhere Access
Yes and no, NG doesn't post when this will be fixed.
What mobile platform are you using?
Can you connect while at home on local network?
What NG model router do you have?
What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?

Re: Anywhere Access
I can connect while connected to the local network and I am on an Apple IOS. I have seen this happened every now and then but it always resolves itself. The router is a Nighthawk R7000P.
Since I am away from home at the moment, I had a friend go cycle the router and this did not resolve the issue.

You don't say what Netgear support said, what your mobile device is or when you talked to them.
There was a problem with the Android version of the app and Anywhere Access.
They fixed it about a week ago.
Unfortunately, not for the first time, fixing Android broke iOS.
It took about a month to mend the Android app. It is anybody's guess as to how long they will take to fix iOS.

Re: Anywhere Access
I talked with Netgear support last week and they indicated they know there is a problem and they are working to fix it but nothing after that.

A known problem for what?
As I explained, it isn't currently a problem for Android.
That the iOS app is bust was also known here. It became evident almost as soon as the new version of the app landed.
But the problem that came up was to do with "missing tiles" rather than Anywhere Access.
Solved: Re: Netgear nighthawk app no speed test - NETGEAR Communities
Re: Nighthawk app missing remote management, speed... - NETGEAR Communities
As you can see from that conversation, this is a zombie bug, first reported nearly two years ago, that has come back from the dead.

Re: Anywhere Access
Both of these items are talking about the Speed Test. The problem here is not that Speed Test is not working. The problem here is just establishing a connection to my router and being able to see the status of it and performing a remote reboot of the router.

That is why I was trying to find out just what it was you were discussing with Netgear.
Your original description was thin on details.
There are still unanswered questions from @FURRYe38. (Thanks for telling us that it was an iOS thing.) What is the box that sits between your router and the Internet?
There is also an intimate link between apps and firmware. What firmware do you have on your R7000P?
The posts I linked to detail known issues with iOS and the new version of the app. These are problems with several reports. Hence those messages.
I have seen no sign that a lot of people have the problem you report. Are there any other reports of problems with Anywhere Access and iOS?
So, if you are the only victim of this, there's a chance that you have a one off that might be fixed with the current version of the app.

Android and iOS apps have been vying with each other to see which one can bring a new bug to the party. Netgear fixes one and the other throws a wobbly.

Re: Anywhere Access
I am running iOS 16.3, RBS750 with fw v4.6.14.13, have tried all sorts of troubleshooting steps, nothing will work. I opened a case with Netgear support since I pay for it, we'll see what they say. A few weeks ago I reached out by phone and they suggested I reinstall the latest firmware, I did that, and no resolution.
