RAX120 Attached Devices Not Showing All Devices
Firmware Version 1.0.1.122 does not show all of the active devices on my network. I downgraded to 1.0.1.118 and everything shows up. In 122, it does not show my work laptop, running Windows 10, but c...
I just made a discovery. Disconnecting my mid-2010 MacBook Pro from my network allows the attached devices page to populate. Also, now the app shows the type of device (vs always showing ‘Network’) and allows me to edit the devices.
Maybe my MacBook Pro is sending some packets that the router doesn’t like?

The suggestion that it could be a device connecting to the network made me spend the morning troubleshooting by disconnecting and connecting different devices and seeing the how the behavior of Attached Device changed. I seem to have tracked it down to two devices on my network that have historically / seemingly have a problem allowing the router's DHCP assign IP addresses and like to cache and reuse their previous IPs: my Denon Receiver and my work Dell Precision. Until these devices connect to the network, Attached Devices refresh with new and detached devices. Once either of those connects, however, Attached Devices stops refreshing until rebooted, even if those devices are removed from the network.
- I have almost 100 devices on my network. Only when my MacBook Pro connects to my network does the Attached Devices page stop populating... and Nighthawk app stop identifying devices types, etc. Once I close the lid on my MacBook it takes 1 - 10 minutes for them to begin working again. I can reproduce this bug all day long.
BTW, I also have a Denon AVR on my network. It’s an AVR-4311CI.
