The hardware and concepts behind Orbi are great but unfortunately, they really can't seem to figure this stuff out over on the engineering side. We should be moving forward with features, not spending six months on these 'basic' items such as general connectivity etc.

This isn’t a major problem, however Netgear needs to fix in the next firmware update. I need to know what devices are connected for security and troubleshooting reasons.
