Devices not appearing in Device Manager

I have a Nighthawk R7000. Some devices aren't appearing in Device Manager in the Nighthawk app, even though they're connected. Only my phone and laptop appear. I have a Roku TV, a smart thermostat, and smart lightbulbs, among other things, connected, but they don't appear.

 

Also, when I go to the administrator's website, on the home page it shows 8 devices connected, but when I click on Attached Devices, only my phone and laptop appear.

 

Why aren't the other devices appearing?

  • whenever you update and have issues, one of the first things we recommend is a factory reset. Have you tried that?

  • I think I figured out at least part of the problem. I'm at home now and if I switch to Connected Locally, all the devices show up. But that doesn't explain why they don't show up when I'm away from home and using Anywhere Access. It also doesn't explain why, when I go to the admin page, it shows 9 Attached Devices on the home page, but only 2 show up when I go to Attached Devices. But if I click on Access Control, all 9 show up there.
