R6700v3 - can't connect via Nighthawk App
I have an R6700v3 router behind a spectrum E31T2V1 modem. Router firmware is V1.0.4.128_10.0.104. I can connect through web access into router, but every time I try to connect throb Nighthawk App, ...

Different problem. Nothing to do with that from PJD1978, who didn't mention printers
Not even the same router. The Nighthawk R6700v3 is not an AC3200. (That's not a Netgear model number.)
Setting things up with the Nighthawk app is not the best idea. You would do better to start your own conversation in the appropriate section, possibly here:
Nighthawk Wi-Fi 5 (AC) Routers - NETGEAR Communities
But check the model number first.
You could also search that section for past discussions on HP printers. (Try including the HP modem number.)
Problems with HP printers are a constant here. They are usually down to the printer setup.
But that is best not discussed here as that would break the rules and hijack the original query.
Same problem with the router being unreachable.
I'm pretty sure the problem connecting the printer/scanner to my network is due to MAC address filtering on the router, but I can't get into the app to change that setting because the app says the router is unreachable.

It would be interesting to know how you reached that conclusion.
If you are right, this would add a brand new issue to the portfolio of problems that people report here.
But it is hard to tell what is going on from your complicated description, which includes a load of stuff about fingerprints that has not much to do with getting a router to work.
Doesn't add much. Heaven only knows what that screen comes from. Not the router.
The Nighthawk App mentioned in the subject has nothing to do with establishing a WiFi link to the printer.

Is your router still in its "out of the box" state? That WiFi SSID suggests so. Nothing wrong with that.Just a clue as to what is happening at your end.
