Nighthawk App refusing to recognise Router

My router works fine. But i installed the Nighthawk app on my phone and it says my Router not supported. I deleted the app and reinstalled but get the same message.  Is it a fact that the Nighthawk app will not recognise the AC1900 - 7000V2 router? If it does, what do i eed to do to get it to recognise my router?

    Well, I'll take that as your help.  Cheers.

       What's your actual model number?  Look at the product label.

       An R7000 is not a "v2".  There is a "D7000v2".  If that modem+router
    is your "the AC1900 - 7000V2 router", then it may not be supported by
    the Nighthawk app.  See, for example:

       I see no Dxxxx models in the list(s) on the right side there.

      You are correct. I actually had trouble getting my model accepterd in the Model field when i opened the request.  I have a Netgear NighthawkAC1900 Model D7000-2.
