Hi, I have three "dumb AP's" running OpenWRT (and OpenWRT router as well). It works fine but I would love to be able to see host name in the list of associated stations when I log into AP. Currently, it only shows MAC addresses so I need to look up the list of MAC to know what the device is. Can I …

Here's a simple way to solve this problem. Install fping and edit rc.local to fping each ip in the sub-net at startup. Means slightly slower boot-up... Install fping opkg update opkg install fping edit rc.local to include: fping -g 192.168.1.0/24 exit 0 Works for me!
