I have my home network on a 192.168.0.0/22 subnet and the AC87U is at 192.168.0.1 on LAN. The client status only shows 192.168.0.0/24 devices, but nothing outside of that range. Is this hard coded somewhere? Can this be changed to show clients for my whole 192.168.0.0/22 subnet? Before anyone asks, yes, the AC87U is configured as 192.168.0.1 with netmask of 255.255.252.0 on the LAN page.

For those few who's going to ask why do I have such a big subnet.....

192.168.0.0/24 are assigned for infrastructure devices (routers, smart switches, homeplug bridges.... etc)
192.168.1.0/24 are for servers (NAS/VOIP PBX/Printers/DLNAs etc....)
192.168.2.0/24 are for dynamic clients (computers, tablets, phones....etc)
192.168.3.0/24 are for fixed devices (TVs, Blurays, smart home devices, cams..... etc)

Yeah, one 24 bit subnet will probably do for me but will be very crammed.....

Yes, networkmap is currently hardcoded for a /24. It's a design limitation that isn't trivial to change.
 
Thanks RMerlin;) Sucks because the QoS stuff is also contingent on the client list......
 
I wanted to organize my network like you are describing, but almost every time I tried to use less than 255 in 3rd slot of mask (255.255.???.0) items got pissed (won't let me type it in, etc).

So I moved to 172.16.???.??? and 255.255.252.0 It allows up to in 3rd slot in mask. I might even move to 255.255.248.0 so I can just play around and do more.

It might not be the right answer and not the way that it is supposed to work, but for me 192.168. only allows 255 devices. Not because it can't allow more, just that is what some hardware people set it at. Sure you can change the 3rd slot in the mask, but you only get to have it see the 255 at the end. Try to move to the 172.16. area and see if it makes things more open and work more often. It is supposed to allow both the 3rd and 4th slots to be used.

Sorry I am not using the correct terms for things, just my interpretation.
