with the units that you do not view in the network screen, you don’t have to 
do this with all units.)   
If the problem persists, try to move the unit closer to this current unit 
(adjacent plugs on the same wall socket is most preferable).  If the 
problem still persists and that unit is still not shown on the network, then 
the unit might be defective please contact technical support. Otherwise if 
you view the unit working, distance might be the only issue.
