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!

Wow. 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- FURRYe38Apr 07, 2020Guru - Experienced User
Try disabling Diasy Chain after schools out.
- JamesAmazingApr 07, 2020StarWorse now. App says both Sats connected but only 4 devices connected to the router. Web interface says no Sats connected.
Bizarre.- FURRYe38Apr 07, 2020Guru - Experienced User
When you get a chance, reboot the RBR only and leave the RBS on. See if any devcies connect to the RBS during the reboot since the RBRs wifi will not be available for a short time, this would force devices to the RBS...

Bizarre.Are you giving the network time to settle down? It looks to me that you're not waiting for the web GUI to be updated?
- JamesAmazingApr 07, 2020Star
The Web GUI or App is not updating correctly or displaying the correct devices etc. I am guessing it is all working (since everyone is connected) but I can't verify since I can't tell what devices are connected where. My iMac is connected but it does not show in the list? App says both SATs connected but Web GUI says only 1 is connected. Sigh.
Maybe time to upgrade the RBR50 and RBS. Too bad, it was working fine until this update and I don't want to try to downgrade the firmware.
