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 p...
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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What is the size of your home? Sq Ft?
What is the distance between the router and satellite(s)? 30 feet or more is recommended in between RBR and RBS to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected.

Before I do the firmware reflash suggestion, I have decided to try something based on your second response first to see what happens and then go from there.
You asked Square footage. Total 3000. 3 Story, each 1000 stacked, basement, main, 2nd, with an attached garage not included in totals. Recently I moved the RBR to a closet in my basement that I wired to be my "server room." This placed the RBR in a new location about 8 feet directly below one of the RBS's. This was the same week some issues started and in the back of my mind I was wondering if they were too close together and possibly causing the issues. I TOTALLY do not understand why this would be an issue, but I learned a long time ago, I don't know everything. So I used two 50 foot enthernet cables to temporarily move the RBR across the basement to see if it makes any difference. Everything looks good right now, but I just power cycled everyting again. Cross fingers that it lasts. Will see what happens and report back.
Thanks for your patience and guidance!!!!!!!!!!!
