Success with turning of Limit IP address tracking within the WIFI settings of the established connection on iOS
I can now see connected devices again. Will monitor for now.
I still think the Orbi app network scanner needs to be looked at how it does a discovery on the LAN if the Orbi app has been allowed on the network for browsing. As iOS , Android, etc will continue the plight of securing these devices as limiting browsers and apps scraping IP address and bombarding with unwanted or malicious content and reducing our digital footprint mapping.
Thanks for the info, I have tried a few things already as I have been through document.
Private relay - is already OFF at cloud settings
Private WIFI address is ON - (I have had it on for quite some time with older Orbi RBR50 series (Turning this off makes no difference)
Limit Ip address tracking is ON. - (For known trackers in Mail and safari according to apples help)
Apps that require special access to LAN - as they ask for access, I have approved these as necessary based on app. This is found in following settings below which should suffice.
Not sure when this was implemented for Orbi but I do recall receiving email regarding privacy and having to allow for discovering . I remember when setup its something that has to be granted.
Under settings\privacy & security\Local network
I have allowed apps that require LAN access on the network , Orbi is one of them.
If anything LIMIT IP tracking could be culprit. I have turned off and will let the devices rediscover and populate on its sweep of device on LAN it must extend further that mail/browser
Again these settings have been set on phone for quite a while. I do have a old iOS device without these settings and when tested on app same issue. Maybe the Orbi app in collecting stats and tracking has caused this issue as of recent times.
As for turning all of these off at home is not recommended even though article says not required at home. As IOT devices and older devices connected to network that aren't a secure benefit from these measures.
