Can't remotely access TP-Link VR900 v3, just get '403 Forbidden Error'

I Have a problem with my TP-Link VR900 v3 with Firmware 0.2.0 0.9.1 v0069.0 Build 170303 Rel.59897n. In any case the router says it’s the latest.
All works great except I cannot access the router remotely, I just get ‘403 Forbidden’ error. I have a static IP and have enabled Remote Management (also via HTTPS which gives port 443, although I get an error saying this server doesn't support SSL). I have also downloaded and installed a certificate all to no avail. I’ve tried remote access from 3 different ISPs and had more re-starts than Frank Sinatra’s career !
I’ve also tried enabling and disabling local HTTPS again to no avail. My router doesn’t seem to have ‘HTTP Referer Head Check’ whatever that is ?
Using the same Laptop but with my old TP-Link TD-W9970 otherwise all the same hardware I get no problem – it works perfectly!
What am I missing?
There's a newer FW release for VR900 v3 here. You should update it manually - details (you're aiming a Local upgrade).
Configuring Remote Management:
To be able to manage VR900 remotely you should have your public IP address on your VR900 Internet IP address:
You can check your public IP address typing in Google "what's my ip address" an compare with the Internet IP address in the screenshot above.
