Connected devices list

Question

I am curious how reliable the connected devices list is for the ORBI. I have 8 SONOS devices connected to my network. I have network scanners that run on my iPhone and my iMac that reliably find all 8 of the SONOS devices. However, the connected devices listed on orbilogin.com rarely show one of the devices while it seens to reliablly list the other 7. The one that almost never shows is a SONOS:SUB. I haven't the foggiest idea what is different about the SONOS:SUB that would cause this to happen. Especially when the other network scanners find it every time. All of the SONOS devices work perfectly on the ORBI network (including the SUB).

Thanks

My Orbi just updated itself to 1.10.1.2 and my IP cameras appear to be staying "attached."&nbsp; However, I now have a Tablet running Android 7.1.2 that "comes and goes."&nbsp;I was hoping a networking geek would chime in with, "here's how routers know what is attached."

If that sonos device is connected to a satellite unit you may want to log into the Ip address of the satellite and check its connected devices.

There is actually only one connection to my network for the SONOS devices. That is a direct wired connection from a SONOS : BOOST to the main ORBI unit. The other SONOS devices connect through the SONOS : BOOST.

All of the SONOS devices show as a wired connection in the ORBI Connected Devices list because of the wired SONOS : BOOST connection. That is what is strange about the SONOS : SUB. It connects the same as all of the other SONOS stuff through the BOOST and the ORBI list reliably lists all of them except for the SUB.

Go figure...

When you say "reliably", do you mean that sometimes that device shows up and other times it does not show up?&nbsp; I have some IP cameras that all come into the Orbi through a single wired port, and ONE of the cameras "appears" and "disappears" from the Connected Devices list.

That is correct. Sometimes it will show in the Connected Devices list but most of the time it doesn't. All of the other SONOS devices show up all of the time. The SONOS : SUB is connected as it works just fine. It also allways shows up in the network scanning software I have on my Mac and iPhone.
