Attached Devices Not Showing

Does the Raspberry Pi think that it's connected to the router? Do
other wired devices appear in the list?
When I connect my iMac via ethernet cable, it does show up in the attached devices. How do I know if the raspberry pi knows if it is connected to a router?

How are you interacting with the Raspberry Pi? Keyboard, mouse,
display? Something else? How do you know that it's working?
My experience with Raspberry Pi systems is limited to the Zero, which
is too lame even to have an Ethernet port, so its (USB) networking may
differ substantially from that of your model. (Which is ...?)
If you are looking at a normal desktop GUI on the thing, then does a
Web browser work? At a command-line (shell) terminal interface, a
command like "ifconfig -a" should report on all the network interfaces.
If it is getting a DHCP-assigned address like the one on your iMac
(192.168.0.x?), then that would suggest that it's talking to the router.
A self-assigned address like 169.254.x.y would suggest that it's not.
I have no idea how much you know about a/your Raspberry Pi, or
networking, or computers in general, which makes it a little hard to
know what to tell you. For example, questions come to mind like whether
you've installed an OS on the thing, whether its LED indicators indicate
anything, and so on. Some description of what you've done so far might
help. Plenty of "Raspberry Pi for Beginners" info exists on the Web, of
course.
