All devices in the Connected Devices list?
Hi
I have a R8000 where I have enabled QoS. This gave me a list a very good list under Attached Devices. But for some reason I dont see all devices on this list ? Anyone can explain how I make ...
I have a wired print server using a static, non-DHCP IP address and my R7000 displays it as an attached device. I suspect that the Attached Devices list will only display devices whose traffic can be seen by router. If you have a device that never sends traffic through the router (e.g. it never communicates with the Internet and only communicates with other devices on your LAN through a secondary switch), then it will never show up as an Attached Device. Does this scenario fit your setup?
Thanks. I fully understand and know the idea of QoS. My question was not about Qos - but more about attached Devices.
In the list I only see some of the devices on my network. The devices I dont see in the list seems to be them I have given a fixed IP. Why are they not showing in attached Devices? They are pingable and have an IP in same subnet as the router(50-99) - but out of the DHCP range(100-255).
All devices are working fine! I would just love to see them in the attached devices, so I also could use the graph that QoS gives me, to understand how much traffic each of the devices are using.

Thanks for you answer.
I have 6 camera from Activision. These all got a fixed IP. None of them are shown in the list.
But you are 100% right. Makes good sense that i cant see them on the list, since they only communicate with the internal NVR. And the NVR is actually on the list and is accessed via the internet.
Problem was that I was thinking the list showed the internal traffic as well. I guess there is no way to monitor how much each individual device uses, when they dont communicate out to the internet.
Thanks for help!
