xr500 shows active device that we no longer have

Running #nighthawk #progaming #XR500 V2.3.2.134. Devices list shows a device brand that we no longer have, as still online with an active IP address. Ping to IP address times out however. Router has been power cycled many times. Device is part of a wireless bridge system where I replaced the manufacturer. Is it possible that the Duma OS kept the old device name associated with the IP address? Is it as simple as just renaming the device in the table? Thank you

    Could be. Or it could be an apple device using its random mac/ip address causing issues. 

    You have a ip address, do you have any devices using that ip address? (if you log into your devices to check the corresponding addresses)

  • Good advice above, it may be a different device with the old name, check the IPs your devices have
