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.

why not update to the 1.0.11.134 version of firmware?
- DaBuddahAspirantI had the router check for new firmware and it said there is nothing new đ
I also downloaded a new update for the app but still seeing the same situation. Logged in and out of the app, rebooted the router.... same.- plemansGuru - Experienced User
The auto-update process for the r7000 has never worked that great.
You can manually update through. I'd recommend doing it through a hardwired connection for best results.
