attached devices shows devices that are physically wired as connected via wireless

Question

Having issues with network "thrashing".

General: I put in Orbi a few months back. Continuosly troubleshooting things that I can't quite figure out if I'm having multiple device issues or an Orbi issue. The satellite has already been replaced.

Problem: One specific issue I see is that I have a server that is wired directly to Orbi. When looking at attached devices it shows as "2.4Ghz Guest". Wireless is turned off at the server and I don't even have the "Guest" network enabled. If I reboot Orbi it will show "wired" for a few seconds then switch to 2.4Ghz Guest.

Once I can figure this out I want to try and determine why some devices show "2.4Ghz guest" vs "2.4Ghz".

Quick edit/addition:&nbsp;When the server shows up as being connected "2.4Ghz Guest" it is attached to the satellite not the router. &nbsp;

What FW version is the router system using?&nbsp;&nbsp;Maybe something that will be changed in next FW update.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

Good question. &nbsp;I am on 2.1.2.18.I have heard that this version is a BIG problem but I can't figure out how to go back to the previous version to see if my issue is related to&nbsp;firmware. &nbsp;

I found the old version of Firmware.Downloading now and will install/report back.

Well if this is just a display issue and the system is working otherwise, it's recommended to keep whats loaded.&nbsp;&nbsp;However, let us know.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
