It can be that the camera is actually on the "Atached Devices" list but it can be with the wrong name! I noticed that Orbi can give some devices a random name (a name for another device in your network) if the device does not specify a name to Orbi during attach procedure.

Reads like a familiar problem - attached device information and their optional configured names show either wrong - or not at all - on many Netgear Nighthawk router for years. Why do I don't wonder one second? We read the same now for Nighthawk AX, for Orbi, ... Appears Netgear does not care at all.
