Try a factory reset by holding reset button on the router for about 10s, those offline devices should be removed from the list.

This is probably caused by one of your client devices - it could be IoT device or similar. Can you describe what devices do you have in your local network ?

That's really interesting then.

Let's make an experiment if you will:

Let only the PC that's connected by cable to your C6 powered on (or connect the other by cable too) and disable both router wireless radio bands (2.4 and 5GHz).

Restart the router and observe the clients list to see if these device would appear again.

My guess is that someone tries to connect to your wireless network but doesn't have your wireless password and can't get an IP address from the router DHCP server.

no its bug of this router for sure because i talked on this subject/bug with Polish support on info-line telephone and they said me will be fix this in future in new firmware update no, no one want to connect in my network and from outside network (Im sure), just look at screen - these are random MAC adressess and they are changed - every 30s/1minute new this failed connect to IP 0.0.0.0, and mac adresses are simmilar one by one in hexadecimal math :)

Alright,

since you've talked about this subject/bug with Polish support on info-line telephone and they confirmed this will be fixed in future FW update, then you just have to wait for it.

  @terziyski

 

thanks for interesting my problem

 

as you can see no one from tp-link support on this forum not interested of my problem, and I a little regret that i bought tp-link machine again because tp-link has the worst support for me, i wrote 2 times on tp-link website form to support for the first time maybe 2 weeks ago and the 2nd time week later and dont have any answers, and on the support telephone line i must wait 20-25 minutes to calling, next time i will buy something from d-link or asus their support is awesome, again thanks terziyski, have a nice day and i will be waiting for this firmware patch but it can be one month or 6 month or even more heh

It could be sooner than you think.

I suspect that no one answered your thread, because your issue is quite specific and to be honest I personally didn't find any similar at all.
