In the Device List page, you will be able to see the devices that are connected to the router whether they are online or offline. Online means the device is turned ON and is currently accessing the network. Offline means the device is turned OFF and is not connected to the router.
Devices that were previously connected to the router would still be displayed in the Device List even when they were powered OFF. If you want to update the status of your devices, you will need to clear your browser history.
