Hi xlr - don't worry, we're already on the case with this one. I'll make sure a developer sees this in case there's anything extra here, but a few users have already reported it :)

Usually the IP address will disappear after awhile so it can be deleted (if it doesn't go online again). We can't make any promises on when future firmware versions will be available from Netgear or what they may include as always subject to change

xlr, I've found if you reboot and the device isn't actually connected that will allow you to delete it.

 

the router thinks it still is connected hence why you can't delete it.

nope, doesnt work. i now have a stack of unwanted devices that no longer exist and cannot be removed.

Hard to believe this Year Old router has this problem....?

Hard to believe this router is out a year and has this problem....

On the flip side, it's mindblowing how many persistent issues have been fixed over the last year. It's unfortunate that this particular issue hasn't made the cut just yet, but one of these updates it'll be resolved.

ok, this is now getting weird!

 

just for giggles I tried to remove one of the devices in Device manager that i couldnt previously remove....

today, i can remove any devices... wah ?

The only things i have done recently are;

1. messed about with the USB Media Share settings (which doesn't work properly http://forum.netduma.com/topic/28131-usb-storage-media-server-malfunction/ )

2. tweaked a bit at Content Filtering (for parental control)

3. rebooted a couple of times.

 

given that i had done step 3 several times already in my original post, i can only assume either step 1 or 2 remedied the problem.....?

Well isn't that peculiar. That might narrow it down a bit for our devs so I'll make sure they hear what happened. Thanks as always for the update XLR!

Keep an eye on it - it will be interesting to see if it continues to work correctly. It could be a bug related to a time factor rather than any actions you're taking, so maybe try leaving the settings alone for a bit and see if it still continues to work :)

I'm still having this problem today! (08/December/2020)

Does anyone has a solution for this topic already?

Hey, welcome to the forum!

If you upgrade to the beta firmware you can use the button in device manager to delete all offline devices https://community.netgear.com/t5/Nighthawk-Pro-Gaming-DumaOS-3-0/bd-p/en-home-beta-npg-duma
