Device Manager does not display all connected devices
Upgraded to 2.1.5.8 firmware today and I only have 5 devices shown as connected. WTH!?! I had almost 25 before and that means I can’t pause them. It was working great before and now I can’t shut off t...
- Apr 08, 2020I downgraded to the 2.3.5.30 firmware and everything is good! All devices are showing up and connected to satellites. Don’t upgrade if you have an RBR50 AX3000 system!

I’ll give it a go. I just rebooted. Now it only shows 3. 2 wired and 1 unknown.
Frustrating.
Thanks for the reply, I’ll let you know.

30 feet is recommended in between RBR and RBS to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected. https://kb.netgear.com/000036466/How-far-should-I-place-my-Orbi-satellite-from-my-Orbi-router
Try enabling Beamforming and MIMO(MIMO may or maynot be needed) and WMM. Under Advanced Tab/Advanced Settings/Wireless Settings
Try disabling the following and see:
Armor, Circle, Daisy Chain, Fast Roaming, IPv6 and Set 20/40Mhz Coexistence to 40Mhz only. Set Short preamble instead of Long preamble modes. Save settings and reboot the router and satellite(s).
- JamesAmazingApr 07, 2020StarWow. This is wonky. So I reset everything and did a fresh setup. The app says all is connected but everything is connected either to Orbi Router or RbS50 1. Nothing is connected to Satellite 2. From the web interface it says Satellite 2 is not connected

Do you have Daisy Chain enabled?
Did you sync and add the 2nd RBS while in the same room and the RBR?
Swap the RBS positions around?
- JamesAmazingApr 07, 2020StarDaisy chain is enabled.
It’s so weird.
I did a new setup a few times to get everything working for no devices show up under Satellite 2. I just figured it was acting weird but as I said, the web interface says it is not connected. App says it is (but again no devices connected)
I can’t reboot everything right now kids are connected for school.
There are 24 devices in the list now connected to either the router or Sat 1 but it isn’t really the same as before. I had iMac connected, etc. Devices are still missing.
There was blue status on lights lit on both Sats
