Nighthawk App (iOS) Useless - Cannot Access Settings on R7000
The new Nighthawk App on iOS appears, to me, to be useless. It launches, it sees and connects to my router, but then no matter what I try to do next I get stuck with the whirling circles of endless ...
I'm trying to access advanced settings on my R7000 through the Nighthawk app (ver. 2.32.1.14 firmware version: v1.0.11.100). I want to be able to block and unblock attached devices but it only shows what is connected under device manager, no way to change anything. This app is worthless unless you can remotely change router settings. Is it even possible?

How are you going about this?
The app does not allow access to the Advanced Settings that are there in a web browser and the graphical user interface (GUI). All it can show is the Device Manager list where you can "Allow Access".
But that depends on whether you are using local connection or Anywhere Access.
Which are you on?
Firmware version for the R7000 v1.0.11.100 is ancient, dates back to 2020.
A lot may have changed since then:
R7000 Firmware Version 1.0.11.136 - NETGEAR Support
I can't speak for the IoS app but the Android version is ahead of 2.32.1.14 .
