Xbox Series X not showing in Device manager

Xbox Series X not showing in Device manager

Hey team

 

I got a XR1000 with a AX6000 WiFi Range Extender connected.  I haven't enabled Fastlane on the extender and I've updated both to the latest firmware and factory reset both after.

 

My problem is my Xbox Series X no longer shows in the device manager or LAN setup on the router but it does shows on the extender.  So this means I can't take advantage of the Geofilter or Traffic prioritisation.  Any thoughts?

 

PS.  XR1000 doesn't show in the Model list when I submitted this so I choose XR700 instead

Model: XR700|Nighthawk Pro Gaming Router

What is the IP of the XR1000 - it should be 10.0.0.1 or 192.168.1.1 and what is the IP of the Xbox you're getting? Do you keep the Xbox in an instant on/standby state at all?

Xbox IP is 192.168.1.15 and yes it's on standby.  Should it be on energy save?

Best to shut it down completely and then turn on and it should appear on the device manager

If you turn OFF the Extender, does the xbox appear on the XR then?

It showed again after factory resetting the router and extender.  I think it disappeared after testing the Fastlane option on the extender.  Could there be a bug here?

Re: Xbox Series X not showing in Device manager

The XR is handling the IPs for the devices and so can interact with them directly, sounds like the fastlane option bypassed this which is good - if you didn't want to use the Geo-Filter/QoS etc

It’s a shame when I went back to basic it stopped recognising my Xbox for some reason. All good now
