Access Control shows wireless devices as wired? Can't change device names?

Running the latest firmware, V1.0.4.76_10.1.82.
This is after a factory reset.

I can see 3 actively connected devices on Wired and 5 not currently connected Wired devices??
I only have 3 devices plugged in, I managed to trace one down to being an iPad.
I also notice most devices no long have a device name! And I can't add them with the App like I used to.
I always get a "Sorry. the action was failed. Please try again."
Any ideas other than yet another factory reset?

  • Just power your router off, remove the also the power adapter for 10 minutes. So you initiate a reboot. That will change nothing about the current configuration. That is the only thing that you can still try before a factory reset.
