Hi

 

Im using the R1 as my main router to connect to my internet. I'm also using a router connected under it via Ethernet as my Main WiFi device. But the thing is when I go to Device Manager, it says all my devices are offline. However when I go to Network Monitor, it shows all my devices which are using the internet. Can you give me some on help on why I can see my devices in Network Monitor but none on Device Manager.

 

Thank You!

Regards,

The Device Manager lists devices by their MAC address. I think it's possible that the downstream router is not passing the MAC address information back to the R1. What I would expect to see in this situation is just one listing for the downstream router, and all traffic over wifi appearing as if it came straight from that router. Unfortunately I don't think there is a fix for this unless you can get the downstream router into some kind of bridge or access point mode.
