I have access control enabled and when I use the web interface, I can see unconnected devices that were connected in the past on the access control screen. You can check/select multiple devices and delete them from there.

That's great news thanks. I'm assuming I need to login to my Netgear account. Can you tell me the steps I need to take to do this?

THANKS So much. I had manually deleted all the off-line devices before I was lucky enough to get your advise. I did log in as admin to the IP address and saw everything as well as a firmware update to both router and satelites. So thanks again. Just to confirm: Had I not manually deleted those devices, would they have shown at the bottom of the active list? And then I could have selected all of them to delete?

Had you not deleted them, they would appear on the list of "Allowed devices that are not currently connected." There is also a table of Blocked devices thar are not currently connected.
There appears to be a semantic issue with the word "connected". To us ordinary humans, "connected" means attached to the Orbi WiFi and able to communicate. I believe to Netgear, "connected" means "has entered the correct WiFi password and is thus connected. But if it is Blocked, then it cannot communicate (send/receive data packets)." That must be why the top table will sometimes have devices that are Blocked.
