Orbi satellite will not show connected devices
When I connect to my orbi satellite via 192.168.1.5, I get the normal home screen. When I click on connected devices, I get the "please wait a moment screen" and the devices never show. This starte...
Hello tsutaz
Find the Ip address of those satellites in the attached devices then put that ip address into your web browser should be a 192.168.1.x address then you can see what is attached to that satellite.

I did some testing on my units last night going from the Satalite to the router with multiple devices and refreshing the list of connected devices to both. Like you I re-named a number of my devices that I have multiple of or just didn't have friendly names. I wasn't able to replicate your issue as the list updated without an issue as the devices switched the connection.
I had a problem with the traffic counter not working after updating to 1.4.0.16 and had to start from scratch in order for it work correctly. Over the years Netgear firmware updates seems to always cause something to go south and I was hoping they had it under control after not using Netgear for a few years and just now coming back.
Hello GarylnEdmond
You should be able to connect to the main page via 192.168.1.1 and then click attached devices and see whats attached to the satellite. Also are you saying that devices show up as unknown?

in the latest firmware the separate connected devices for sats has been removed and it just shows them all in 1 list , eg basic attached device list , the advanced device list has ether been removed or hidden
Hello peteytesting
You may be correct I looked at my orbi and it still shows them separate but this is likely because I had that feature enabled in the debug page before the update so for most people you are right they may not be able to see this I will ask about if this will change in the future.

I just finished upgrading my satellite to 1.4.0.16, and I no longer see the devices that are connected to the satellite,
but I know that there are some devices connected because I am using the satellite wired ethernet ports.
I hope they fix this, and provide a signal strength report for each IP address.
