RAX35 / RAX40 Missing Remote Management ability FW 1.0.3.94

Updateded from FW 1.0.3.88 to 1.0.3.84 two weeks ago.

Noticed today that the Remote Access Management page is gone and replaced with Web Services Managment page.

 

The new Web Services Management page has a section labeled "Local Access" with an option to enable/disable "Always use HTTPS to access the Router".

But there is no section on this page for "Remote Access". All the options to enable/disable Remote access such as "Turn Remote Managment On", "Allow Remote Access By", "Port" are missing.


Strangely if I turn on Local HTTPS in the "Local Access" section and apply the change the "Remote Access" section will flash and then disappear. So I know the coding is there on the page... just not accessible. If I turn off Local HTTPS I don't get the flash.

 

So what is going on? Why was this removed? Was this a Netgear "fix" to a security problem by just removing the remote access option rather than properly fixing the bug?

 

Anyone else having the same issues?
