RBR850 Anywhere Access NOT WORKING AFTER Latest Firmware Update 12-18-22

You can test your theory by rolling back to the previous firmware.
How do I manually upgrade firmware to my NETGEAR router? | Answer | NETGEAR Support
Apps and firmware are intimately linked together.
In this case, the apps seems to be getting things hopelessly wrong on Anywhere Access, and the problems alternate between iOS and Android. One gets fixed but the other one breaks.
Until they fix it, stick with the tried and trusted way of working on your network, the browser graphical user interface (GUI).
In my case it was not a firmware or app update. I updated the firmware (960 series) in late November or early December but it was late December that it just started working.
This is just a guess, but another bit of the equation is the MyNetgear cloud link that is the go between that connects the Nighthawk app to our routers.
Any problems there could break the link.
It just shouldn’t take that long to fix problems like this. All my other cloud based apps don’t have this problem.
