R8000 - Disabling Remote Management
Hey guys, trying to get some help. I have a R8000 router. I am trying to disable any kind of remote management, or management done to the router by any devices connected to the network wirelessly. ...

Use the Nighthawk app and you can disable "Anywhere Access".
Router Web page managment is no longer seen on the routers web page. NG seems to be moving to the NH app.

No difference. I disabled the Anywhere access through the NH App, still I am able to access 192.168.1.1 through devices on the network. Any other potential ideas? Any way we can let Netgear know of this directly? I even rebooted the router to make sure the update took effect.
My guests can access local network drives, AND router settings, wows

You can't disable LAN side access to the routers web page. Thats always enabled. Thats normal as well.
Remote Management which is now Anywhere Access on the NH app is for allowing access to the router from remote locations from the WAN side only.
