Attached devices not showing yet again
Does anyone think Netgear will ever fix the issue that is devices which are connected to the network not showing in either the Orbi app or in the web based GUI? And before Furry 38 tells me to do a ...

Having the same situation here...
RBR40 - V2.6.2.104
RBS40 - V2.6.2.104
RBS40 - V2.6.2.104
I have rebooted router, waited, turned off Access Contol, waited... Gave it a day or so, tried again, wiated. All items still no showing. Bigger problem is, i blocked a device as an Alexa was showing up as a Firestick (i don't own a firestick, so i blocked it). Now i am trying to re-enable the device, but the network list WILL NOT SHOW THE DEVICE. I reset the Alexa to factor setting, same thing. I need access to ALL devices so i can re-allow access. Even under the "View List Of Blocked Devices" there is an item there, which i did block, but the GUI will not allow me to select the item to modify, in fact will not allow me to modify any items.
In U.S. here - Had over 30 items connected, updated to this V2.6.2.104 and dropped to 23, then 20, now 16... Sitting around 16 and items not showing. Items that aren't showing are still working, but i can't see them.
NETGEAR - FIX THIS PLEASE

over time they seem to appear on the orbi app - right now i see 19 whereas 2 weeks ago i saw about 5 . I agree its annoying and its not worth calling cust support because Netgear offshore tries to rip you off with a support contract that is almost a scam (it may actually be a scam).
this forum is good but i am not happy with netgear - my motorola modem outperforms the netgear modem that lasted me a lousy 14 months before it started acting up.
i do like my orbi coverage in the house so i don't want to re-invent everything by switching to google nest but it is an option if you get too frustrated.
