how to get a list of named clients ("Bobs-iPhone") from shell to detect visitors

[David Kremer]

From the ASUS shell, how can I get a list of connected clients (by device name, for example "Bobs-iPhone" is how they usually show up) as well as MAC address?

This is similar to just looking at the Network Map in the ASUS UI, but I need to know on an hourly basis, when clients are there and when not. Also useful would be a summary of how long they're connected etc.

This might be your best bet:

EDIT: Looks like it might only report by IP address rather than name. Still, it's a starting point.

The Network Map is closed source but appears to mostly use "arp -a". You could do that but it will only show you clients that are currently or recently connected. So it's unreliable.

Get a Fingbox.

I second this recommendation! Audible alert of "New computer found" gets my attention quickly. I keep a list of ALL devices that have ever connected to my network with their hostname, IP address, wired AND wireless MAC. this list includes any guests' or relatives' devices so I do not get false alarms.
