Hidden devices
I've got a 3 satellite RBR10 system that is working fine. Yesterday I had a power outage for a couple of hours. Once power was restored, all the satellites returned to working condition BUT, there ar...
Tried your suggestion using the Hunter Douglas Hub and the WN2500.
The HD Hub does not have a web interface using just the IP address, but I did activate things using the App, it worked properly. I also accessed the hub using some direct commands (http://XXX.XXX.X.XX/api/scenes?sceneId=13931) and that worked properly. I configured the WN2500 using the direct interface and that seemed to work.
But the devices still do not show up on the Orbi web pages. I'm beginning to suspect that there's some setting I need to change on the WN2500 since all the devices that are not showing up are all related to the WN2500
Thanks for the additional effort. Wish it had helped.
I doubt very much there is a 'setting' that needs to be changed on the Wn2500. The three devices appeared on the Orbi "Attached Devices" web page before. They should appear now.
I have used several WiFi "extenders" (temporarily) on my Orbi. One phenomenon surprised me. One of the WiFi extenders created bogus MAC addresses for the devices attached to it. i.e. when they connected directly to the Orbi, they appeared to have their harware MAC address, but when they connected through the WiFi extender they had a different MAC address. (and that caused the Orbi to assign them different IP addresses. Very annoying to an OCD person who wants things to be "just so".)
I've got no clue why these three devices have disappeared. Maybe one day they will reappear? I guess the "good news" is that they work!
