Title: Devices connected don't show in Device Info lis
Post by: olc on April 26, 2011, 06:33:16 PM

I just got a DIR-655 and set it all up pretty easily. I have 6 wired and 3 wireless. All work fine and all are set to use DHCP. But if I go (in the router) to the Lan Computers list under Device Info, three devices (2 wired, 1 wireless) do not appear. I do have a switch added to the system, but of the three devices connected to it, 1 shows in th Lan Computers list and the other 2 do not.

Since everything works, I'm mostly just curious why this is. Every previous router I've had showed everything correctly.

I presume the devices are ON at the time with your reviewing the status page?
I recommend using Static IP address for your devices set up on the router.

Yes, everything is on and functional using the wireless network.

What's the advantage of using static IP addresses? I haven't done that in a decade

Devices keep the same IP addresses. Makes trouble shooting better. If the IP changes for some reason, it will break any rules you set up.
