Topic: how to see wireless clients?

The content of this topic has been archived on 13 Apr 2018. There are no obvious gaps in this topic, but there may still be some posts missing at the end.

Is there a command I can issue to an OpenWRT access point that will show all of the wireless clients connected to it as well as their respective speed (i.e. 802.11g, 802.11b, etc)?

This would be interesting for me, too. I remember that there was something like "Active MAC Table" in earlier Linksys Firmwares. Clients filtered by the MAC-Filter appeared red, allowed clients appeared green.

ipkg install wl
wl assoclist
wl sta_info <client mac>

You can use this script:

#!/bin/sh

for MAC in `wl assoclist | awk '{print $2}'`
do
  echo -n " ${MAC} Signal Strength: `wl rssi $MAC | awk '{print $3}'` dBm" ;
  echo " "
done

thanks a lot. i think this is a very good point to start from.

On Backfire 10.03.1, b43 platform (asus-wl520GU):

    # iw wlan0 station dump

works - the 'wl' package  is not available.

The discussion might have continued from here.
