RBR50v2 router showing device named ALLOW for a few seconds.
I have a RBR50v2 router and I was looking at the device list and a device named ALLOW showed up for a few seconds and then dissapear. Has anyone else seen this happen on their router?
Is this on the Orbi web interface (Attached Devices) or on the Orbi 'app' Device Manager?
This is on the web interface
I have had an Orbi RBR50 for nearly eight years and have never seen anything like this. Most unusual.
How frequently does this happen?
It would be fantastic to have a screen shot of this, but things that appear for only a few seconds are nearly impossible to capture. (sigh)
I have only seen it happen once and that was because I was in the device menu at the time. What's even stranger is this device does not appear in the Orbi app either. No trace of it.
This may be one of those "mysteries" which are never explained. (sort of like UFO sightings).
My first step is to attempt to reproduce the problem.
The Orbi log file typically records every device that has been issued an IP address by the Orbi DHCP server module. Maybe the log shows some device that you do not recognize?
