Devices on network not showing up
Orbi 970 1 router 4 Satellites Firmware V9.13.2.1
Why do I have wireless devices on my network which dont show up on the web interface or in the mobile app
They previously shown and are connected now (for over 1 hour) as the device is working and it still does not show up...
I have cleared the cache rebooted the device - no change
Makes me think what other device could be connected that I dont know about....
Is this a security bug?
Thanks

What brand and model# wireless devices are not showing up?
Does this happen with the RBS turned OFF?
Does this happen with both wireless and wired devices?
What channel configurations are currently set on the router?What Firmware version is currently loaded?
What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?
Be sure your using a good quality LAN cable between the modem and router. CAT6A STP is recommended.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 wired or wirelessly connected.

NETGEAR Mobile Applications and Android/Apple/Windows Devices FAQ | NETGEAR CommunitiesThanks I get why you ask all the questions but this device is 1 metre away from the the Router and I have an identical device next to it BOTH are connected and working
Firmware as above
The router is bridged through a BT Business Smart Hub
Not sure why I need to switch off the Satellite...
Just to confirm the device IS Connected to the router and working but NOT showing in the routers Web interface or in the mobile app
Surely everything connected to the network whether router or Satellite should display within a very short period of time
and its still not showing for several hours now
OK my Bad, Device said connected and working but it turns out it wasnt
Sorry for the wild goose chase

Glad you figured it out.
Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.
