Tested firmware 2.5.1.8
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...

Rebooting Orbi will not resolve this issue. 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.
- 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.Curious about something: Do you have IP address reservations for all your devices on ORBI? If not, try reserving IP addresses for your stuff via "Advanced">"Setup">"LAN Setup".
I've done this since I first got my RBR50 nearly 2 years ago and my devices seem to be properly reporting. However, I am running firmware version 2.3.5.30 NOT 2.5.1.8.
