"Attached devices" list in R8000P not updating or correct
I installed a R8000P router and the attached device list is NOT updating/refreshing and it does NOT match the actual IP addresses being used.
1. I had a hardwire connected PC yesterday on th...
Router: R8000P Firmware: V1.4.1.30_1.2.26
GUI: V1.4.1.30_2.1.46.6.1

I do not understand Netgear's software quality/structure. Since the "attached devices" works great on R7000 router, I would assume that this part of the software would be a reusable, and well debugged, subroutine/Case and all the software team has to change was the hardware driver interface.
Since each new router goes through the same firmware problem, NetGear seems to be rewriting new software for each router. It would seem ,except for the hardware interface drivers, all the router would have the same common software routines.
Sorry for not listing the version but I have found this problem listed on this site in older versions in 2017-present.
In fact, someone asked the question " IS THIS A SECURITY PROBLEM?" since the access/block list is NOT being updated correctly.
What firmware version do you have on the device?
A number is more useful than "the latest". (It may not be by the time people read this.) There can also be newer versions, or "hot fixes", that do not show up if you check for new firmware in the browser interface.
It might also help if you told people what the modem is in front of this router. The model number could be useful. Is it, by any chance, also a router, with a set of LAN ports on the back?
