No much to go on.
Where are you looking at the device list? WEB UI or Orbi app?
How many devices do you actually have all connected and online?
Be sure that mobile phones and pad don't have MAC ADDRESS Randomizers enabled while at home:
Has a factory reset and setup from scratch been performed since last FW update? A complete pull of the power adapters for a period of time after the factory reset then walk thru the setup wizard and setup from scratch with a wired PC and web browser. Recommend setting the default DHCP IP address pool range to the following after applying and a factory reset: 192.168.#.100 to 192.168.#.200.

I have the issue, that the router does not show more, than 44 devices in the device list. I can see both wired and wireless ones, but since I reached 44, no more new is visible. Any advise to solve this?

Where are you looking at the device list? WEB UI or Orbi app? -> Both the WEB UI and the Orbi app shows the same number of devices (44)
How many devices do you actually have all connected and online? -> Around 50
Be sure that mobile phones and pad don't have MAC ADDRESS Randomizers enabled while at home -> This is surely enabled, but all Apple devices are visible, the ones missing are not Apple ones.
Has a factory reset and setup from scratch been performed since last FW update? -> No, I did not do. Sorry to be pessimistic, but is this really a solution for such an expensive device? It was a pain setting up the device originally, I simply don't want to repeat it.

What are these devices that are not appearing? Brand and model #
What happens if you turn off ALL other devices accept these ones that are missing, do they appear then?

Will be a last resort if we can get these devices to appear. There maybe some odd issue or bad state where a reset can clear up or resolve issues like this. Will need to be tried.
One thing to have on hand is a backup configuration saved to file. Saves time if a reset is needed in cases like this.
