Attached Devices Not Displayed
Nighthawk x4s R7800. Functionally it seems to be functioning well, but after logging in to the router it takes a moment and shows the number of attached devices but it will not display what they are....

Touching back after trying a different computer to look. Device names show from there. What could be an issue on the first computer?
Also the second computer will search for a firmware update file on line but notes there is none, although Netgear's site lists a newer one.

What brand and model# devices are connected to the router?
What browser are you using? Try a different browser, MS Edge or Firefox?
Be sure to disable any MAC Address randomizers on phones and pads while at home:
