R7000 Factory Reset allowed devices
If I do a factory reset, will the router lose its list of allowed devices?

Yes.
You have a couple of options. One is to save a backup configuration file so it can be restored after the firmware default reset. Keep in mind, restoring a backup configuration file may also bring back what ever issues you are trying to correct with the reset.
Take a screen snip of the allowed devices page and print it out for reference to reconfigure after the reset.
What specific issues are you trying to resolve with a firmware default reset?
The list of connected devices is blank. The dashboard for 5.0 GHz WiFi is 2/3 blank. The dashboard shows there are 10 connected devices and that is correct. The list of allowed devices is correct. The firmware check shows no new versions are available, so I assume its up to date.
