I have a R7000P giving me the exact issue. It's been driving me crazy for months now.
I updated the firmware.
Didn't fix it!
Did a factory reset.
Didn't fix it!
It occurs using both iOS (iPad Air 2 running iOS 13)and and Android (Samsung Note 9 running Pie) I have Uninstalled and reinstalled both apps on both devices multiple times, both before and after the factory reset. This leads me to believe that it is a setting that was tweaked in update to the app that needs an adjustment through the desktop. What that adjustment is has me spending hours looking online for a solution.
I have no issues with accessing the Device Manager on my computer, just using the app.
I am not an expert but I am a gifted amateur who has been building computers and tweaking software before Bill made his first billion. I don't believe in deleting the app to fix the problem, I want to fix it and use it.
Help me!

RedWolfe I spent almost 2 hours on the phone with customer support, but it looks like there is an issue with the new firmware. I rolled my firmware back to the previous version and it solved the issue.
Go to https://www.netgear.com/support/product/R7000P.aspx then Downloads, then expand View Previous Versions and download 1.3.1.44 or possibly even 1.3.0.20.
To manually upload the previous version, log in to your router and go to Advanced. Then go to Administration and then Router Update. Click Browse and find your firmware file and upload it. Hopefully that works for you, since it fixed my issue.

My Device manager on the nighthawk app used to show me all the devices connected on the network. I tried doing a factory reset / uninstall and reinstall the app and all the steps that were written to show the details but the problem still persists. Please reply back URGENTLY! I am using the app on the IOS device.
Model no on the box shows R7400
AC2600 Smart Wifi router . Not sure why this is not showing up on the list.
