Netgear Genie shows about 14+ wired devices when there are none.
When I look at Connected Devices in Netgear Genie it shows many, but not all, of the devices connected to my Pace gateway. Some of these devices are actually connected to the gateway wirelessly, and some are wired. And it also shows the gateway as wired. Why does this do this?
And could the range extender in AP mode count these as part of the total number of connections to the AP?
And as always, thanks for the help.

Not sure if my post makes clear that I am talking about my EX6200 Range Extender in AP mode. Thanks
Due to the fact that the EX is also wired to the gateway and the device detection is seeing anything connected on the wire including items seein on wireless thru the main host router. Normal in most cases.
Thanks, Furrye38
So there isn't a chance that the AP is somehow counting these in its connected devices limit, which I think is 32 per band? (Still trying to chase down why my AP won't allow me to connect more then 18 devices to the 2.4GHZ band.)
Thanks for your time in responding to my question.

There may be a hard limit on how many devices can be connected at once to the extender. This would be common place as having too many would bog down the extender. It's best to have a balance and spread the devices out where they connect too.
