Orbi app not showing all connected devices
After upgrading the firmware on my orbi 753 router, the orbi app no longer shows all of the connected devices. Also, it shows all devices connected to the main router and none to the satellites, even ...
Just wanted to folllow up on this since I figured out over the weekend. I was messing around with Circle on the RBR50 and was having issues with filtering some devices. I assumed it was because the device I was trying to filter wasn't showing as "connected". I upgraded the RBR50 to use NETGEAR Smart Parental Control. This showed me the list of connected devices which was wrong. However the app was now showing me a list of every device ever connected to my network as "Offline Devices" which included devices I was trying to filter. I went ahead and manually deleted all 131 offline devices and then my devices started showing as connected.
I'm guessing devices are getting stuck in offline mode and stop appearing as connected. This is why completely reseting the orbi fixes this issue as it purges this list.
As far as I can tell this list of "offline devices" doesn't appear in the web interfaces but you can get access to this list of devices through the app if you attempt to enable NETGEAR Smart Parental Control. I also saw the list of offline devices in the circle app but there was no way to delete them there.
Hope this helps.
ORBI RBR750
Firmware: V4.6.5.14_2.0.54
Definitely does not show all devices connected to the network. Neither does the associated iPhone app. Both are "broken". This is really a big problem for a router and more than just dissappointing. The main function of a router is to configure and monitor access to your network. That includes allowing/blocking specific devices, ports and protocols. What is the value in having a router that can't even do the most basic things. This needs to be addressed or I would suggest netgear products are not up to the task and consumers like myself should look elsewhere unless there is a fix in the works. Any status or ETA on that?
