Hi,I was on 2.3.5.3.0 on RBR50 and RBS50.Took my chance and updated the firmware-2.5.1.8 manually.Naming and changing icon works but still not showing all the devices that is attached to RBR50 and RBS50. It has same issues as 2.5.0.40.It not working properly so I reset both RBR50 and RBS50 to see if problem gets solved but nope still not showing all the devices from the web ui and android phone app.I have around 25 to 30 devices but only showing 18 devices attached and did reboot to see if it shows more but showing 16 so did another reboot and showing 19.I took same steps to tested 2.5.0.40 and was hoping this firmware 2.5.1.8 is different but its samething. Only thing fixed with 2.5.1.8 is naming and icon.I'm going back to 2.5.3.50 again.

The device not showing was my phone(note 10 plus), ps4, nintendo switch and couple of other android phones.Nas was showing just fine.Tried remove remembered wifi from the device and reconnected them again but wasn't working.Now I'm back with 2.3.5.30 and working as it should.

Cant edit.Meant to say going back to 2.3.5.30 again.

I also observed this symptom. However, new devices will be added/appeared slowly, i.e., overnight. If you must have accessed to all your device names upone reboot, stick with your working/current version. With v2.5.x.x, it will take time to populate all device names, assuming all is well. If you've already have access control/Circle/etc., setup prior to upgrade to v.2.5.x.x, it should continue to work as is, albeit the annoying device names.

I already left it overnight and did too many reboot to see if it bring back all the devices.... also disabled Daisy-Chain to see if it works. but no luck here.... All the devices are connected and working as it should but it just dont show under attached devices. Anyways i will just stick with 2.3.5.30.

I had problem with devices that go to sleep, i.e., NAS, MBP, but never with IoT devices. Have you seen it with IoT devices? Try rebooting one of the hidden devices to see if it shows up? For example, if my NAS were in power saving mode, it won't show up until I power cycle it. Once Orbi sees it, Orbi will remember it even if the NAS is offline later.
