LAN connected laptop doesn't appear as device (neither online or offline)
Hello,
I am facing some challenges with Deco system and need help.
The whole system is based on two Deco X50 units and one X50 outdoor.
The main deco X50 works as a router, it is further connected to a managed switch with a standard setup.
The remaining units are connected to the switch through a lan cable to extend the wireless network.
There are many other LAN devices connected such cameras directly to the switch - which I can see all under deco app.
I have recently faced a challenge with my company laptop, which I have connected to the switch through a lan cable.
Everything works fine in terms of connection and connection speed, but I don't see it under devices in deco app.
It is neither appearing as online nor offline, also I didn't get any alert with regards to new device being connected.
Same story if I connect that laptop wireless-ly, and this is even a bigger challenge because I cant setup e.g. a preferred connection to the nearest deco.
What is causing this issue? is it possibly related to the laptop setting being forced by administrator to treat the network as a public network?
FYI, I cant change that setting, but it doesn't make sense for me either, because that would mean sone could wireless-ly break into my network without being noticed....
Thank you for your support in this matter.
Regards,
Mark
