I just bought this router and now I am trying to turn on remote access from Netgear genie app on iOS and Mac OS X.
From iOS version, when I toggle on for remote access, it always shows Enable failed with server error as the message.
From Mac version, I pick remote access from the dropdown then enter my email + password then after login I see a popup showing the device is not registerd, do you want to register the router. I hit ok then a router login window is showed. I enter login information then hit ok then I see the registration process failed, try again message.
I have no idea what's going on. I did turned on Turn Remote Management On.
Router Firmware Version: V1.1.0.38_1.0.1
R6700v2
Using iOS 10.3.2
Mac OS X 10.12.5
with Netgear Genie
Solved! Go to Solution.

Re: Unable to register router for genie remote access
Hi @Retired_Member,
The Remote Management feature is different from the Remote Login feature of the NETGEAR Genie app/program. The link below may help out.

I have a R7000 in AP mode as well on the network. I am able to turn on remote access on this R7000 using the app.

Re: Unable to register router for genie remote access
Hi I am trying to access to the Remote Access Genie on my iphone (outside of my local network).
The app tells me to log on and confirm an email confirmation. However I do not receive any emails in my inbox or junk mail. When I click on the resend email box I get "unknown error".
My netgear account details are all correct and working. I also tried changing my account to a different email address and again still no email received.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks
