List of connected devices doesn't appear anymore !!

Hi, i have installed my RBK50 (Base + Satellite) in AP mode (Access Point mode).

The configuration went well and was pretty easy.

I have also upgraded the firmware without any problem (curently v  2.1.2.18).

The connected devices (dispositifs connectés) were listed correctly with their respective thumbnail images and so on.

Now they do not appear anymore ! Why ? this is very helpful when you want to control who's connected.

The list is simply empty !

Can someone from the NetGear support tell me why ?

Regards

You may want to factory reset the orbi unit after upgrading firmware it could of caused something strange to happen with your settings.

@DarrenMSo i f i hard reset my Orbi, and i already backuped my config (cfg file) can i restore it and retrieve my config as i configured it ???

Will i retrieve my connected devices list ?

 

Regards,

 

P.S. :  i already heard about hard resetting the config somewhere else, so i just need to understand if i have to reconfigure everything manually or if restoring my .cfg file is enough.

@Sevo123I agree, for that price, this should not suffer such malfunction / bug !

You surely should backup your config, before performing a factory reset, but it could very well be - just as Darren noted, that the settings of your device(s) have been screwed up. In that case restoring your current config would surely re-introduce your issue.

 

However, it may be worth a try to factory reset and then restore your config… The question is, if your issue is actually caused by a config issue, or some other problem and if your issue is caused by a config issue, will the backup include this error. No other way to find out, then to try, I guess.

Same for me, firmware V2.1.4.16

French was selected, I switched back to English and it resolved the problem.

Thank you Netgear support ... Factory reset is not the solution to everything ...

I would change the IP address pool size after doing the ERASE settings on the router from 192.168.1.2 to .254 to 192.168.1.100 to .200.

 

I would also start to set up IP address reservations for each device, starting with the satellite and your test PC.
