RBR10 Mesh
I have started having problems with my Orbi RBR10 Mesh network. Have 29 devices connected and see problems with some of the devices losing connection.
Under the list "Allowed devices not currently connected to the network" I have 8-10 devices. Why? Are there too many nodes connected to the RBR10? Firmware ver. V2.7.3.22.

Orbi routers record the MAC address of every device that has been allowed access to the network so that it will recognize the device if it should appear again. Even if Access Control is not enabled right now, by the time those devices appear again the user may have decided to enable Access Control and the router needs to know if they are Allowed or Blocked.
There is no harm in removing those devices from the table. The only wrinkle is that Access Control must be enabled to activate the ability to manipulate the table. I never use Access Control, so I enable it, remove devices, then clear the box, and hit Apply.
That should not be too many devices.
