Orbi: Why do I have to factory reset to get Attached Devices to show?
Firmeware version: V2.5.1.8 For some reason, every month or so, my Orbi loses the ability to show attached devices. And then it is factory reset time. Why? What's going on? This supe...
So I didn't end up factory resetting the router. It just seemed like such a drag to figure out which device was which and reenter names for them.
Saturday and Sunday the attached devices list still said 0 satellites, 0 attached devices.
This morning I was about to bite the bullet and factory reset, but got distracted with something else.
This after I was going back to it, when lo and behold, the attached devices list started working again.
Still on V2.5.1.8
V2.5.1.8 is BAD
get rid of it
What is good?
And is downgrading possible?

Glad it's working. Please mark your thread as solved so others will know.
Please do a backup configuration to file for safe keeping. Helps save time if a reset is needed in the future.
Enjoy. :smileywink:
