R7000 ethernet devices missing
Not sure when this started happening but when I go into the web GUI of the R7000 and attached devices all my wireless clients are displayed. But, my ethernet devices are not - the router status lights show that ethernet connections are linked up and flickering to show activity.
I have also noticed that the latest version of the Nighthawk app on IOS doesn't let me login to the router - it 'times out' when entering the password.
Any ideas/solutions would be gratefully received.
Cheers
N.B. I am not on the latest software as that is just not very stable for me. I am on Firmware Version
V1.0.11.130_10.2.118

I don't thing the .134 (latest) version changed attached devices but you can try upgrading to it.

if it doesn't help, you can try factory resetting.
I tried going to .134 but it was very bad.
So I am back to .130 but suddenly my ethernet devices aren't staying connected.
They seem to be connected but when in sleep the devices leave the network instead of staying connected.
Did you do a factory reset after the changes? the R7000 has responded pretty favorably to resetting after changing firmware. I'd advise during the reinstall to not use a backup configuration

yeah, i have tried it but it was not helpful for me so there was only one option that was factory resetting i do this and got.
I have managed to get the .134 FW installed and seems stable.
I removed a meross smart plug that i added into the mix a few days ago and the ethernet devices are staying connected.
Anybody know why this type of device would cause the ethernet devices to stop functioning?
Thanks
