    Try a factory reset on the RBR and setup from scratch and see if this resolves what your seeing.

    I have upgraded my Orbi system to 2.5.0.40 from 2.5.0.38 to fix the issue with naming devices.  After the upgrade, i noticed an issue with the Attached Devices screen.  I have captured the information below to show the issue clearly:

     

    #:  4
    Device Name:  Elaine's PC
                             DEV-D5:0E:7F
                             192.168.1.1
    IP Address:      192.168.1.1
    MAC Address:  00:23:6A:D5:0E:7F
    Connected Type:  Wired
    Connected ORBI:  Orbi Router
                                  A0:40:A0:54:AD:F2
     
    If you notice the device appears to be my wife's PC.  But notice the IP address of 192.168.1.1 and that the device appears to be wired to the Orbi router.  Rest assured, the device in question is indeed NOT WIRED to the ORBI router, and the IP address shown is the IP Address for the modem.  As my Orbi router is in AP mode, I would expect to see the modem in the list.
     
    Now I know I can correct this issue easily enough through the recently fixed naming of devices.  But why did this fix cause this issue to appear?
