    Router: R8000P Firmware: V1.4.1.30_1.2.26

                                       GUI: V1.4.1.30_2.1.46.6.1

    I do not understand Netgear's software quality/structure.  Since the "attached devices" works great on R7000 router, I would assume that this part of the software would be a reusable, and well debugged,  subroutine/Case and all the software team has to change was the hardware driver interface.  

     

    Since each new router goes through the same firmware problem, NetGear seems to be rewriting new software for each router.  It would seem ,except for the hardware interface drivers, all the router would have the same common software routines. 

     

    Sorry for not listing the version but I have found this problem listed on this site in older versions in 2017-present.  

     

    In fact, someone asked the question " IS THIS A SECURITY PROBLEM?" since the access/block list is NOT being updated correctly.
