New Around Here
I just got a new router because the old one started dropping signals a lot. This new router seems to do things that I can't wrap my head around. I know very little about networking and am not interested in becoming an expert, I just want to get a few things sorted out.
#1 - There are things in the network map that are clearly wrong. For example, a Raspberry Pi that is not and never was connected to "wired" shows up in that section. It pops up in the "wired" section every 5 or 10 seconds and stays there for a couple of seconds, then the router switches back to "no data in table". The kicker is that this Raspberry Pi has been sitting on my desk unplugged for a week. Is this typical or is my new router busted?
#2 - It drops all clients from the network map if they're not currently connecting with the router (with the exception of the aforementioned Raspberry Pi which pops up every few seconds). So my wireless Brother printer for, example, doesn't show up in the map and I can't access it from my computer. In the past my old routers would keep all the clients in the map and just say "not connected" or similar when they were turned off, which was helpful to see everything that was connecting to the router. Is there a way to make the network map show everything?
