Attached Devices not correct
Running firmware 2.6.1.40 and having issues with the attached device list. Some devices don’t show, I fixed one by manually setting a dhcp reservation, but that is not sustainable. Basically if I brow...
So to report back overall, firmware downgrade didn't help. To me a full reset is a lot of under taking that I am not sure I want to do. One interesting item, if I create a DHCP reservation manually by typing in the MAC Address it shows. Then I can remove the reservation and it gets a new DHCP address and still shows. Unfortunately this isn't sustainable since changing these settings causes the full reboot of the router. So guess I am going to live with it until I get a big enough window to full reset.
Yes a reset will be needed. Hopefully you can find a time frame to do this.
Good Luck.
I had the same issue with missing devices with both firmware 2.5.2.4 and 2.6.1.40. I did not try a factory reset, but when I downgraded to 2.5.1.16 all is well with my orbi again. I am now leaving it on 2.5.1.16.
Smart move....Not all FW is created equal. Best to leave them if your network is working.
