How to see what devices are connected to router and satalite.

I'm having poor reception in a room and not sure if I'm connected to my router or to the satalite.  How can I see which devices are connected to the individual satalites and / or router?

 

I've gone to the Debug.html but not sure what to enable.

 

Thanks,

 

Tim

    Try this:

     

    1.  log into Orbi and and click on Attached Devices

    2.  click on any device name to enter Edit Device screen

    3.  click in device name box

    4.  press the <enter> key on your computer

     

    For me this brings up an alternate listing showing devices connected to the router and each satellite.

    You have to login into the Satalite and it will show you which devices are connected to it. You can then assume if it's not listed on the Satalite it's connected to the router.

        Thanks very much for this. Very helpful.

         

        Not sure why Netgear makes this so counterintuitive and hidden.
