IP Address DIsplay/Attached Device Display 870 Series
Just chiming in here with just one of many issues I have been having with my Orbi 870/871 devices. I am set up in AP mode (we wont get into the issues with this) and, looking at the attached device...
Haven't check AP mode lately, however router mode works for me currently.
What devices are showing up as unknowns?
If mobile phones and pads, be sure to disable any MAC Address randomizers on phones and pads while at home:

This is one cause of these devices showing up as unknowns.
What is the Mfr and model# of the host router the RBR is connected too in AP mode?
How is AP mode configured on the RBR? Dynamic or Static configuration? I use Static with mine.
What Firmware version is currently loaded?
