You could check this forum for messages about the router's firmware. There have been recent reports here of firmware breaking things.
The way to recover is to download and apply an older version and to see if that works better.
Unless there is something that the firmware fixes, or adds something useful to the features available on your hardware, it isn't always essential to upgrade firmware.
You can check the list of changes here:

If it is the iThing app that is bust, you may have to wait for a fix. Or stick with the desktop app.
