Hi, Thanks for the feedback.
All the wired devices connected to the switch did not show up on the devices list, right?
If you connect one of the wired clients to the main Deco directly, would it show up on the APP?
As for the guest network issue, you are right and the connection preference is only available on the main network.

Hi, I would like to follow up on your case by email, and please have a check of your email box later.
And Did you set up a static IP address on the NAS?
If yes, would you mind temporarily changing it back to dynamic IP and check whether it appeared on the list or not?
Thank you very much.
