Is your Synology set up with a static IP address? If so, devices may not always show up in the attached device list. That doesn't mean it's not working.

This usually means that the device has to either ping the Orbi or send traffic to the Internet. Local traffic may not necessarily be "seen".
Don't go changing from router to AP mode without a good reason. They do very different things. Without a router, most home networks will stop working.

I guess yes, it was set as static IP, is there anyway I can solve with this?
