WEIRD - I've had the router for a month new - and it never has listed everything. Usually nothing, and once in a while 1-2 things.

I just read your message saying 118  DOES DISPLAY ALL.  (I have 118) in mine.

 

So I looked (again - I've done so 50 times with no accurate result) and after reading your post - I see everything and more I didn't even know was connected as the things are closer to the primary router.  So what did you do to make it work all of a sudden?  I won't believe it until I check next time and everything is shown.

What is the check box to ENABLE ACCESS CONTROL:?

Hi rojoyinc,

                     I will wait for you to moniter it. Just to keep you notified, if your device is connected to router's network, it'll not be listed in extender's connected device though this extender is using same SSID as your router. Enable access control is similar to access control on routers where you can block/deny access to any of wireless client by enabling it.
