Offline Devices
Hey everyone. Updated my RBK50 firmware and received the new app with the new parental controls. In addition all my IOS devices updated to new versions 14/7. Since all my IOS devices now have a new MA...
Thanks for letting me know where in the Web UI the offline devices were. I missed the little text on the bottom.
No dice though on my issue. I used Web UI to remove the device but it had a different name than the app. Rebooted RBR50 and even uninstalled and reinstalled Orbi app with removing data. Device is still there under the profile.
Seems like there is something hidden on the router that the web UI doesn’t have access to or even worse May be cloud related with my Netgear account connection.

I have found, for an unknown reason, Orbi system setups take 24 to 48 hours to settle in and give accurate reports to the app and GUI.
I recently setup a test system and manually updated it to the latest firmware, and then after full success updated my personal system.
However, for the first 2 days wired devices were reporting as wireless and vice versa, some devices were missing while others were offline. I rebooted several times, flushed my browser cache and re-installed the app. No change. Then after a day or so, after 1 more reboot, I rebooted every device connected to the Orbi and everything reported correctly. I had previously tried that with no success, so I think it was the 24 plus hours of running that may have something to do with it.
- My OCD kicked in and wanted to see if I could get it reporting correctly manually even if I had to login and do it through telnet. Lol. I’ll keep an eye on it and let it settle. I’ll keep you guys posted
