RBR20 (V2.5.1.16) - connected device does not appear in Attached Devices page

Hello Community,

Several connected devices with internet access are not appearing in the "Attached Devices" page.

Instead, these devices appear in the "list of allowed devices not currently connected to the network" in the "Access Control" page with connection type = Wired !

 

I've tried turning off access control and rebooting the router, no luck. These devices are all using DHCP and are not in any address reservation list.

 

Is this a known bug with firmware version 2.5.1.16 ?

 

Regards,
Felice

    No bug as I run the same firmware. Are the devices wired or wireless? Reboot the system and see if it corrects it.

      Hi Mstrbig,

      Thanks for your reply.

      Devices are wireless. Reboot did not resolve my issue.

      If this isn't a bug I don't know what can be classified as a one ;-).

        E.g. My niece just connected her macbook to my guest network, it appears in the list of allowed devices not currently connected to the network as a wired device.

        This is not a bug ???
