I am having issues with Ubisoft. Long story short they want me to port forward. I had to hard reset the router some time ago. Now, I use the app and I cannot connect to the network of the router. I am connected to the correct wifi connection and the app sees it but says I am disconnected. I am not sure how to solve this.
Every time I go to routerlogin.net I am redirected to the Netgear website and it cycles around.
Model: R7000P|Nighthawk AC2300 Smart WiFi Dual Band Gigabit Router
1. I don't know as I can't access the router 2. How do I find it out? 3. Is it 192.168.1.1? If so, then no. It times out. 4. Because I can't access AC Valhalla add-ons on my PS5 despite no other problems with anything at all

Your router might have used a different ip address if it detected a double nat (cascading routers) issue. its why we ask.
Try disconnecting the router from the modem, reboot the router, connect a pc/laptop to the router. then pull up a command prompt and type "ipconfig" the default gateway is the routers ip address.

So I purchased this Netgear Nighthawk R7000 so I could applu ExpressVPN on to it. All good until Ubisoft. I was advised to hard reset the router. Now I cannot access it on the app. It looks for the WiFi connection of the same name, which I am connected to, but the device is not recognised.
I just followed your steps of accessing the router after disconnecting it from the modem. The default gateway address just takes me to ExpressVPN router dashboard. Not the actual router settings.

Ok. Now you have an ExpressVPN router, not a Netgear router.

Because, with ExpressVPN firmware, it no longer acts as a Netgear R7000.

That's what your router does when you load ExpressVPN firmware on it.

Those _are_ "the actual router settings", now.
If you want to use a Netgear app to control your router, then load some Netgear firmware onto it. If you want the ExpressVPN firmware on it, then you need to deal with the ExpressVPN firmware.
Did you read about the ExpressVPN firmware before loading it onto your router?
