Device Manager Not Showing Connected Device
I have a Raspberry Pi connected wirelessly to the router. For some reason I am unable to see the device in the Device Manager. Actually, I am able to see it as offline - but only with a Wired MAC a...
Yes it could quite possibly be that. If you connect it directly does it behave as expected?
Yes, disconnected the extender and it now shows up as expected connected to the 5G band. Not sure why other devices work as expected through the extender yet the Pi does not. What I like about the Linksys extender is it merges itself with the network rather than showing as a different network. Does Netgear make a WiFi extender that would do the same (show all as the same network, but show my devices as online when going through it)? Older houses with plaster walls are a real challenge when it comes to getting a signal to pass (I'm guessing there may be a metal mesh behind the walls)... LOL!
- Okay interesting! If you could possibly capture the traffic of the Pi using something like PingPlotter we can try to determine why that is. Yes I tested the EX8000 recently which does exactly that - unsure if it would show the Pi online as we (Netduma) don't have one to test with.
Would be happy to. I downloaded PingPlotter on my Mac which is connected to a LAN port on the XR500. What do I need to do? Have never used this software before. Or do I need to find something like it that runs from the Pi (it's a model 3B+)?
- PingPlotter or a similar program if you can find it should run on the Pi itself. Then just capture the traffic and use the Pi how you normally would.
