Firmware 1.0.9.88 R7000 shows duplicate devices

After downloading this firmw5 version I noticed the on the nighthawk app in device manager that there seems to be a lot more devices connected then there actually is. For example I only have my tv connected to the Ethernet port but it shows it connected to the 5ghz Network and it's showing 22 other devices connected to the wired ports.
I assume to is a bug?
  • I finally got a chance to take the network down for a while and was able do a factory reset of the AC1900 R7000. I updated the firmware to 1.0.11.136_10.2.120 from a computer connected to the router via ethernet. So far everything is working. I will post if problems develop.

    Probabably an incompatibility with the NH app and use of older FW.

    Any progress on this?
