I've got a R7000P Nighthawk. I has worked fine until now. I have a main house wifi on 2.4/5GHz and a guest network 2.4/5GHz and a TP Link range extender. Today there were problems connecting a Google Chromecast to the _EXT guest network, so I used a Ethernet cable from the R7000P to the range extender. Problem solved. But then I got problems with the main house 2.4/5GHz network; it connects, then hops off. Get different error messages; no internet connection, ip not resolved, limited connection. The Nighthawk app displays full internet connection all the time.
Funny note is that my Windows laptop is connected at slow wifi speed, but phones (both Android and iPhones/iPads) gets this on/off connection.
I've tried to pull the power on the router, no change. Reboot the router from the app, worked. For like 5 minutes. Tried to restart connecting devices, no change.
I found a wifi connection control setting in the Nighthawk app, turned the Guest 2.4/5Ghz WiFi off, since the setting showed cable connection on the TP Link range extender.
Right now the main house 2.4/5GHz is unavailable, "no internet access", but the Nighthawk app shows full internet connection , more than the 100/100 MBit connection I pay for and connection to my Android phone, but no working WiFi connection on that phone.
Can anyone give me some pointers on where to look/what to do?

A couple of basic questions first. What is the version number of the firmware on your R7000P? "The latest" is not a version number.
What is the name brand and model number of the upstream modem/ONT that supplies data to your R7000P? Look on the nameplate label.
