RBR850 MANY devices missing from attached devices.

I have just noticed that MANY of my attached devices are not showing in the router menu pages.  In either the basic or advance menu the attached devices show 11 devices.  When I use a port scanning program, I find most of the 38 devices that are in fact active and attached, but Orbi shows none of them.  Oddly some of the attached Raspberry PI boards running Resilio Sync show up, but another running Octoprint does not.  Also several computer not listed either.

 

Incidentally, not sure it is related, but my router lost all of its settings (I am guessing after an auto firmware update???).  I had to manually set it all back up since I am not certain where I saved my original config.

 

And, not to mention all the WEMO switch issues I am having.  I paid $1000 for this router and satellite packag and I am seriously beginning to regret it!

  • Well, 5 days later and I will call this issue fixed.

     

    Moving the RBR to the other end of the basement (was 8 feet away from one of the RBS) has solved my issue.  I just don't understand how this would cause the issue.  I get that them being to close together could cause client issues, but everything was still connecting.  It just was not listed in the attached devices page.  Any insight as to why?  Not that I need to know, but I would enjoy knowing.

     

    Thanks again for all the help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • P.S. Running firmware V3.2.16.22_1.4.9 which reports as current....

      If the firmware was just updated, it may take 24 hours for the system to stablize.

      Try rebooting the router and see if it shows devices correctly.

        Unfortunately no, that did not do the trick.  I noticed this issue 4 days ago and it has been like this ever since.  I have rebooted a number of times and I did so again for good measure.

         

        No change....
