Can't see attached devices - RBRE950
I added some static IPs and rebooted my router. After that clicking on attached devices open a page with empty table with no devices. The main menu shows proper count of satellites and devices. Inter...
My Attached Devices works now. I set a DHCP reserved address with a valid name for the invalid device whose reported name was HEX 03 character. I don't know what this device is. It's first 4 hex characters of the MAC address are the same as the my Elgato Key Light, but I don't think I have another wifi Elgato device.
BUG ROOT CAUSE: One of my devices was reporting a strange name of "" (hex 03) - See attached screenshot. This caused the Attached Devices page to never list my devices. The underlying AJAX call returned invalid JSON and the JS parser threw an exception.
FIX: Go to DHCP and set a reserved address for this device's MAC but set a valid name string.
Very cool Mikey94025 !! Great workaround and awesome debugging.
I wonder why it will fail in this code path and not in access control.
Now all we need is for Netgear to put a real fix. Not sure how difficult is it, as they are using some open source according to the disclaimer.
