How can I share MAC&Hostname list among routers?

Propagating MAC-hostname mappings across WiFi network with multiple APs

I am not sure why you have to do that. For my DumbAps I use custom build without dnsmasq and odhcpd installed. I just use scp to copy the ethers file to all APs and the names are resolved locally by each device.

Host name missing from associated stations page on dumb AP

Thanks for the links. I can manually populate /etc/ethers on the dumb AP but an automatic method would be better. I cannot seem to find such a method. For those interested, on the router, this one-liner will give the needed info in the right format to populate /etc/ethers on the dumb AP: cat /tmp/dhcp.leases | awk '{print $2" "$4}'

Associated stations - making hostnames visible across multiple APs

Whilst researching this topic myself I found a number of threads with different solutions to the problem of making hostnames visibile across multiple access points. Unfortunately those threads are locked, so I'm creating this one to share my own (different) solution to the problem. Most threads focus on getting an entry into the ARP table, using tools such as fping, arp-scan, etc. My approach is somewhat different - I'm running a cron job to copy /tmp/dhcp.leases from the "primary" router (ie,…

No additional configuration is required for this basic functionality; it works out of the box. Static leases are not required for this aspect of its operation.

You missed this part:

list updated in all routers

list from external source

I understand that the OP used the Static Leases to make a list - but this is a common inquiry nonetheless.
