Nighthawk R6400 - Connected Devices Shown With Dash (-)
I often see devices in the router's connected wifi devices list that are shown with dash (-) as in the bottom 2 in the attached screenshot (outlined in green). Nowhere can I find what the dashes ...
I am starting to wonder if this is the result to too many devices being connected to the router (or at least the router's 2.4GHz band). I have read elsewhere that there is a limit of 32 devices per wifi band. And my list is maybe 20 on the 2.4 GHz band with 3-4 max on the 5GHz band and 3-4 wired devices. So this shouldn't be the problem, right?
But I have recently disabled some wifi thermometers I use during the winter months and this has reduced the number of devices on the 2.4GHz band. Since doing that, I have not yet seen the -- happen under SSID. Perhaps it is too soon to be definitive here. I will keep watch.
