Hostname not mentioned in Associated Stations

[KOA]

Why openwrt doesn't mention the hostname along with mac address?

Is the device the acting DHCP server?

[KOA]

no, dumb AP

@KOA

dumb AP

Then that's your answer, as the data come from the lease.

[KOA]

any work around?

/etc/ethers or fping, search the forum for both.

Associated stations list in AP, how to show host names?

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 somehow configure AP to do DNS lookup for certain client MAC and also display the name? Thanks! P.S. I have disabled dnsmasq, firewall and odhcpd in AP (as I do not need them)

I am trying to do it the GUI way. Only issue is where do I find the rc.local file. Should I connect via WinSCP and edit the file in notepad++/ VScode ?

[frollic]

it's the local start up script, under system -> startup > local startup .

Instead of mac now I have IP addresses. instead of Hostname.

[frollic]

then I guess you used fping, not ethers ...

[KOA]

yes, used fping.
