Have an R7000 members here helped me get running properly. Next question. I have 50+ devices. Have the MACs for all of them. Logging in to the router though a browser, Basic>Attached devices show...

Here is a fun fact.
I have a device showing x.x.x.45 when I access the router through my browser.
It shows x.x.x.51 when I access the router through Genie.
Finally found it by typing in IP addresses in the browser. > x.x.x.36.
Why do I have 3 different IPs and why does the R7000 have both of it's guesses wrong?

So What if you set a IP address reservation for this device on the router, does it then keep and see the same IP address across the board?
What is this device?- required_aliasMar 07, 2023Guide
This gets more fun all the time. Smartthings hub
Now doesn't show up in Genie.
Accessing the router through my browser,
Advanced > Access Control shows x.x.x.14.
I wanted to make it a static address. went to Advanced>Setup>LAN setup>ADD
The hub doesn't show.
Back to Advanced > Access Control shows x.x.x.14.
This is quite frustrating. I get IP addresses bounce around, but showing up in one screen, but not the other is not making me happy.
As a reminder, my wife is in the same room on her iPad. That iPad has never shown in Genie or Access Control.
I now have 19 IP addresses showing in either Genie or my browser for which I have no device AND have 6 devices working properly that never show up.
