Hi, thank you so much for your reply. I am actually referring to the devices that are connected to Orbi Router and Satellites, wireless and wired, that are currently running, like the current iPhone that I am using to reply this in the forum. Even for this phone that I’m using that is connected to the WiFi to send this reply is not listed too. Anyway for me to fix this?

  Mstrbigis correct that devices which are "connected" but inactive will drop off the Attached Devices display. For example, when I close the Nest "app", eventually my Nest thermostat no longer shows as "attached", even though it certainly is. This does not appear to be what you are experiencing.
  
  Others have reported that the newer Netgear firmware has problems with Attached Devices and their solution was to manually install the previous firmware, version 2.5.1.8 My guess is that you are left with two options: (a) if the only issue you have with the Orbi is the accuracy of the Attached Devices display, you can just ignore it and hope that eventually all devices appear correctly, or (b) manually install 2.5.1.8.

    Again thank you for your reply. I guess if it's possible to downgrade the firmware then I might just try your second solution which is to downgrade the firmware back to the old 2.5.1.8 version. I do hope that Netgear will rectify this in the=ir next firmware release as this is getting pretty annoying. Really appreciate your reply CrimpOn
