Missing Devices and Satellites
Installed router and satellites yesterday, Aug 12, 2020 Satellites showed up as connected 5G with good backhaul Devices displayed 7 of 14 attached and working devices Decided to power down the ...
"I would avoid using these Blaster devices. They maybe interferring with the system in some way."
You must be joking :smileywink: They worked and diplayed perfectly on my now idle Tp-Link router, and may soon do so again, until I get some other mesh router. These devices are used to control 5 mini split units, and automate my home audio and video system.
My solution, either Netgear fixes the Orbi display page, or give me a refund.
I've had the same issues as you. Satellites showing disconnected, wrong # of devices listed. Even after factory resets and starting from scratch after each firmware try I always revert to this firmware. It has been the most reliable and stable for me.
What browser are you using? Does this happen in other browsers? Try IE11, Edge, Firefox or opera?
Be sure to clear out all browser caches before entering the RBRs web page.
This only happens when you use these blaster devices?

There was a known problem with v30 FW and the RBS showing disconnected on the RBRs web page. NG pulled v30 from public download. You should update to v16 and the RBS will appear correctly. I experienced the same thing when I had v30 loaded. v16 works fine.

I do not have any Broadlink devices but I have had the display as garage in the past when some of my devices had duplicate IP addresses. I don't recall if it was as bad as yours. Even though the devices were rebooted/powered off they were sticking with the IP address they had after I did a factory reset of the Orbi. Don't ask me why but I had to wait a day or so until they did their own ip renewal. I have around 60-66 devices on my network at anytime.
It occurs in all browsers; firefox, chrome, edge, opera, and the Orbi app. For the record I use Vivaldi for my go to browser on Windows 10 and Android 9 phone.
Everything worked until I powered a Broadlink RM Mini3, IR blaster. Everything continues to work, including the IR devices, except for the the attached device page
I'd update to v16, RBS first, then RBR lastly, Then factory reset and setup the RBR and RBS from scratch. Be sure to clear out all browser caches.
Start turning on devices and letting them connect. I would try using Edge or Firefox browsers for this.
Icons should appear correctly on the web page and not broken picture icons.
The try your IR devices and see if the web page appears incorrectly again. If so, this is something to address with NG support.

This is the link for my RBK43S. Using the latest release makes it worse.

I have no issues with devices on 2.3.5.30 with devices disappearing but I do on later versions, even the 2.5.1.16 you mention.
- Problem with netgear is you have to pay for support on shoddy products.
Updated Router firmware to V2.6.1.36, and Satellites to V2.6.1.38, corrects the Attached Devices issue. However, the BitDefender option is now missing from my RBK43S. Submitted ticket to support.
