I setup two OpenWrt devices: a router and a dumb access point. What option would control forwarding the host names of the connected clients back to the router? I seem to be missing some of them:
On the router:
# cat /tmp/dhcp.leases
...
1642277447 62:82:xx:xx:xx:xx 10.9.7.162 * 01:62:82:xx:xx:xx:xx
The dumb AP shouldn't know any of the hosts, if configured correctly, while the router would know them all.
I think dnsmasq takes care of that. There's a way to have the dnsmasq instance on your AP delegate the lease requests etc to your upstream router and have its dnsmasq handle them, but I can't find how exactly.
My first and only guess is that the client is a mac address randomizer device. Turn that function off in the smartphone or pad and you will be pleased.
if you just use DHCP it's all done for you but Static IP you have to manually put them in
/etc/ethers solves it too, bud again, an AP shouldn't know the hosts names, since there shouldn't be a DHCP running on it.
That is the problem. Not only does it randomize the MAC address but it omits the device's hostname. Re-enabling it passes a random MAC address and no hostname. Thanks for this suggestion!
Backstory is that I renamed my SSIDs a few weeks ago and reentered them into the iOS devices. In doing so, must not have disabled the privacy feature which is defaulted.
