Nighthawk X6S does not list connected devices

Having logged on to my new X6S (set up as an access point with the router and two subsidiary devices connected through cable and a few wirelessly), I try to list the connected devices. I get the "Ple...

The EX8000 v1.0.0.82 firmware also listed all devices. I will update to v1.0.0.118 now.

I just tried it again and it no longer works :( :( :(

 

Pretty pathetic and as the last "update" was November how long will it take before their next attempt?

 

EDIT: Tried it again and it worked so it seems to be a bit hit or miss...

    I have a new X6S as well - mine also does not show devices.  I am however not using it in AP mode. I'm using it as an extender. Though it's 300 ft aaway from the primary router and is handling 3 lan connections and several wifi.  (shouldn't it still list devices?)  I installed the latest .118 firmware only to find out while doing so that I already have it.  So just installed it again.

      Hi All,

               Connected devices must work fine on lastest firmware v1.0.0.118. Extender will list every device which is connected through to its network via any switch or hub wired and wireless too. Let me know if you come across any issues.

        WEIRD - I've had the router for a month new - and it never has listed everything. Usually nothing, and once in a while 1-2 things.

        I just read your message saying 118  DOES DISPLAY ALL.  (I have 118) in mine.

         

        So I looked (again - I've done so 50 times with no accurate result) and after reading your post - I see everything and more I didn't even know was connected as the things are closer to the primary router.  So what did you do to make it work all of a sudden?  I won't believe it until I check next time and everything is shown.

        What is the check box to ENABLE ACCESS CONTROL:?
