Telling which network a client is connected to

Installing and Using OpenWrt
1

So my niece is on a separate network to have more control over him (e.g. not allowing him to watch Netflix until 3AM). This situation is a race by nature over loopholes, and of course with him on winning side. I think he got somehow the password to the proper network.

The question in short: is there a way to see which network did a particular client connect?

(Or is there any better way than MAC filtering to prevent connection to a given network?)

fail DNS lookups for netflix past 11pm (or whatever) ?
and implement DNS hijacking.

Yes, you can easily see what SSID a client connected to by viewing it on:

  • on the main/overview web GUI page (under "Associated Stations"); or
  • on the Wireless web GUI page (also under "Associated Stations")

Also, it should be a daemon.info dnsmasq-dhcp log from the relevant network's DHCP interaction for your niece's client connecting and obtaining an IP.

My bad.

Thank you for your answer. The solution was just in front of me, but overlooked it really really badly.
