negative number in "attached devices"
Has anyone seen or have a suggestion on how to correct a negative number of devices in a WNR1000v3? Firmware has been updated (version below)
Actual number of devices is 14 per list in detailed screen. The summary screen shows "-27" as the number of devices count
I have restarted the router a number of times.
UPnP is turned on
I have a 6 devices setup as reserved addressed (Advanced; LAN setup)
Thanks for any advice or ideas. Mike
Firmware Version
V1.0.2.68_60.0.93NA
Hard to say which three devices in the detailed list are not counted in the summary total. And the number varies.
This might just be a bug showing up with certain configurations that netgear has never fixed.
The device appears to be working in all other ways
Thanks, Mike

Welcome to the community, mitx
Try to factory reset the router then reconfigure and see if you'll have the same list.
Hi ElaineM,
I have a lot of settings, if I use the save config and then restore config after a factory reset would that be a good approach to use?
I would feel more comfortable with the save and restore to make sure I did not miss some setting.
Thanks, Mike

It would be easier, but it's not a good idea. If the settings are corrupted somehow, then save/restore would restore the corruption too.
Though it's tedious, you can make screen shots of all the settings pages, and refer to them when you set up again.
