JFFS Usericon icon limit?

[pgershon]

I have just discovered that my RT-AX92U will not permit me to add more than 99 icons to its list. Is there a way top increase the limit, or a way around it? I have 50 or so Kasa light switches that all use the same custom icon. Be great if they could share one icon instead of requiring g 50 unique icons.

There is a "Smart Bulb" icon in the Asus list you can use as many times as you wish.

Ever think you have too many "smart" devices?

I think this may help.

You can ssh into your router, go to /jffs/usericon, make hard link copies of the usericon files of light switches you've already uploaded, and name the new copies to be [MAC address of light switch].log (for example, 112233AABBCC.log). In this way you can specify many more usericons, and new copies won't use up disk space becasue they're just hard links.

Thank you. How do I create the hardlink? I believe I understand the rest of the process once I figure out this first step.

To create a hard line of file 112233AABBCC.log and name it 334455DDEEFF.log, you run

ln 112233AABBCC.log 334455DDEEFF.log

Thanks. I figured it out and got what I needed. However, I have one issue. I have three RT-AX92U routers - one acts as my main router and the other are wired mesh nodes. On the DHCP assignment page, I see the two Mesh nodes and I have icons associated with them. But on the mesh nodes page, my icons are not displayed. I am not sure why. I used to have one node icon displayed but not the other. When I tried to fix, instead I lost both. See attachment screenshots.
