What happens when you try? Any prompts or messages?
Can you do this using the graphical user interface (GUI)?
How are you using the app? Local wifi or Anywhere Access?
Android app or iOS?
Same issue for me. The app says, Router not found. I can't access the web interface of the router at 192.168.1.1 after the latest firmware update. I can't connect to port 80 or 443 using netcat; I receive "Connection refused." errors. The firmware update has caused this issue and I can't seem to fix it with a reboot.

Not really. Possibly, not at all.
PCr78 is asking about managing the guest account for wifi. (Look at the subject.) You don't mention that.
The app says, Router not found. I can't access the web interface of the router at 192.168.1.1 after the latest firmware update.I see no sign that this is what PCr78 sees. (It is bad form, and against the rules, to hijack someone else's conversation.) Oh, and "the latest firmware update" tells us nothing about which version you actually installed. There are various ways of getting "the latest".
But, even though there may be very few similarities in your issues, let's persist, with apologies to PCr78.
Which app? iOS? Android?
Which browser for the web interface? Tried another one?
Does routerlogin.net work?
The firmware update has caused this issue and I can't seem to fix it with a reboot.How about a reset and then reboot? (Save the settings, if you can, before doing that.)
Roll back to the previous firmware to confirm that this really is the issue.
Finally, which modem/gateway delivers the Internet to your router?
You again. Oh, okay. I'll just resolve this on my own.

Good idea. Start by explaining what your problem is.
