There is still a bug witht he connected devices page. I'm on the latest firmware, but the UI still shows clients connected to the router, when they are actually (verifiably) connected to satellites.
If you realy want to know where your devices are connected, you have to check the BSSID reported by the client. Don't trust the Orbi connected devices page.
