I am still seeing this problem too, even after upgrading to the latest firmware. I also have issues where a wires device shows as wired.

 

Does anyone else have a fix for this yet?

    I’m having this issue as well.

    I’m going to say that my decision to try Netgear instead of ASUS this go around has been a bad one. Paying for security that is subpar, and (was) paying for Circle which flat out sucks has been an unpleasant experience. I actually feel like I’ve gone back in time with this router compared to all of the standard features included with my old ASUS GT-5300 ROG router. I’m considering ditching this and going to the AX-11000. I should have researched more before buying. I’m also losing more signal range and strength over the air than my old ASUS.

        Hi,


        Some of my devices are showing as wired , but they are in fact wireless.
        I'm also not sure this is updating correctly as I have noticed that the device count remains the same if I check from day to day and I know some devices are powered down.
        Can you please confirm if this is a common issue?
        Is there another way to get the IP address of a device other than the attached option? as I sometimes need to look up an IP address of a device using its make of mac address and I believe with the attached device option be not refreshing correctly then I’m seeing the old IP address instead of new one.

        Thanks
        Colm

        And

        Happy Christmas.
