Nighthawk Router Not Found
So I have been trying to log into my router using the Nighthawk app, which seems to not find it. So I have followed all the proceedures and still no joy. I went and looked for the router IP address...

Your devices have a different IP address? What has what?
Your devices connected to the primary router will have a seperate ip from the ones connected to the netgear.
This is because you have 2 dhcp servers.

Your devices have a different IP address? Yes but that was before I did a factory reset and that married up the correct IP addresses.
What has what? I was trying to log in using my NetGear website ID and Password not the router ADMIN ID and password. DUH no wonder why it wasn't working.
Your devices connected to the primary router will have a seperate ip from the ones connected to the netgear. Yes my iPad and iPhone both have sperate IP addresses but was able to log in on both devices because I used the correct log in and password.
This is because you have 2 dhcp servers.
Thank you for the words of wisdom and teaching me what I should look at.
