You can try updating to more recent version of FW to see if this helps or revert back to v16:
I would power OFF the RBS and RBR for 30 seconds after they are updated. Then back ON. Clear out all browser caches as well before checking the RBRs web page.

There's a smartphone app for the weather station (and to correct a mistake in my original post, the weather station DOES have a reserved IP assignment.) But accessing the weather station from the app does not cause it to suddenly appear in the Attached Devices list (as I just verfied.) The speaker is accessible through the Samsung Multiroom Audio app which allows me to select music/audio streams from my phone or other network sources (e.g. DLNA, internet radio, Spotify, etc.) to play through the speaker. The speaker DOES appear in the app's list of speakers that it has found on my network, and as I posted earlier, the speaker works as intended. I have four speakers, but only one of them remains hidden in the Attached Devices list.

Thanks for humoring me. My Attached Devices display takes up to five minutes to show changes. Sometimes my phone latches onto the 2.4G channel, so I disconnect and reconnect. The phone will claim a 5G connection, but Attached Devices will continue to show 2.4G for some time.
Just makes no sense.
