RAX70 cannot display attached devices
The RAX70 is a $350 router. It cannot display a list of attached devices on the LAN out of the box with the latest firmware. Does anyone know why?

What mode is the ISP modem working in? Router or bridged?
Try a different PC to compare?
Might try reverting back one FW version to see if this resolves.

Success! The solution was to set the ISP gateway to bridged mode, and not router mode. Devices appeared after the router was power cycled.
FURRYe38 My network devices were connected to the router, and not the gateway. For us plebs, can you explain why the router would have trouble finding attached devices if the ISP gateway was not set to bridged mode?

Could be anything. Possible IP confict between the who but the NG router would have or should have avoided that. Have two routers on the same line can be problematic if not configured properly. Otherwise, who knows.
Glad the bridge mode worked. Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.
