Nighthawk RS600 Dev list blank
I recently purchased a Nighthawk RS600. Everything seemed to work fine for a short time. Then the list of attached devices was blank. I restarted the router and that fixed the problem... for ONE DAY!
2 days ago, I updated my firmware to V1.0.6.16 and the device list was back. 2 days later, however, nothing. Is Netgear planning to put out a new FW to fix this problem? If so, when will it be available??
I can't keep re-starting the router only to have it fail the next day. And a factory reset is out of the question. I'd be setting up the router from scratch on a daily basis. That is NOT a solution.
Considering the cost of this router, it shouldn't be plagued by something as trivial as this.
If anyone has a real fix for this issue, please let me know. Otherwise, I guess I'll just have to wait for Netgear to put out a new FW which will hopefully include a fix for this problem.
Thanks.

Please confirm, is this
- The list of devices on the web interface?
- The list of devices in the Nighthawk app?
- Both of them?
Thanks

I have the RS600 and I've never ran into this issue.
What modem/gateway is it connected to?
Have you tried a factory reset after running into these issues?

Same here, just had my RS600 online for months last year up until January 2026, WEB UI and NH app always showed correctly for devices connected on WEB UI and app.
Bob_P_1959 One factory reset will be needed to check to see if this continues on your unit, or not. Recommend setting up with a ethernet connected PC and web browser:
