Device manager not updating.
I have an XR450 (basically a XR500) and I have issues with my device manager (network map). When I disconnect a device or just shut it off, it still claims it is online. For example, my GF had not b...
What firmware version are you on? I assume the latest .40? In which case did it only occur when upgrading to this firmware? If so downgrade to .32, do you still see the issue?
It started on .32 I believe. I didn't notice it at first and when I did .40 had come out. In reality it fixed it for a while but after the router has been running so long it quits working for me in the device list. I only care because if I turn on a console and it was showing as offline, it won't move to online status and thus Geo Filter does not function.
As of now my Nintendo Switch for example shows as offline and will not move to Online devices even tho I'm using it online right now. And thus Geofilter does not populate for games.
- Okay interesting, does the console by any chance go into standby when you turn it off? If so, get it to the point where it is working correctly, then turn the device off completely. Next time you turn it on does it appear on the Device Manager properly?
Im currently playing online and it shows as offline in device manager. Nothing on my Geofilter populates. For example, playing Super Smash Bros Ultimate on my Switch generally shows my peers and quickly when the device registers as online. My PC which is showing as online is populating the steam download server as a peer right now. I've been online with my Switch for 45 minutes and it shows it as offline.
