Are you talking about the "attached devices list" or the debug.htm page itself?
Because I can't find anything in the normal firmware pages that links to debug.htm; I had to type it in myself. (And having seen it now, I'm curious to know what, exactly, the "Network Session" counter is counting, and what happens when it reaches the stated max...)
The attached devices list, of course, isn't hidden.

The "hidden feature" is the ability to see more detail about the connected devices, e.g. wired versus wireless, and connected band. As detailed in an earier post on this board, this feature can be enabled by changing a variable on the router. Do so at your own risk!
- Go to the debug page and enable telnet- Telnet into the router- Execute the following:nvram set enable_adv_attached=1nvram commit- Exit telnet- Go to the debug page and disable telnet (please don't forget this step!)- AndUrbiJan 16, 2017Guide
Yeah, the enable_adv_attached variant is somewhere between "way way better" and "infinitely better". Dunno why that isn't the default, but at least the functionality is still there!
