RT-AC86U client list outdated

[jorgemarmo]

Hi, I'm running a RT-AC86U with stock asus firmware 3.0.0.4.386_40451.
The client lists is outdated, is showing me many devices wired and wireless that are actually not connected (they were)
If I reboot the router, it will get the proper list but if I check in a couple of days, the list will be outdated.
This is annoying... elsewhere it seems to be working fine.

1) I wonder if this is s known problem or if Merlin firmware could solve this?
2) I'm using a pihole as DNS server, and I configured it to pass the devices name into the router, so I see their "device name" instead of the MAC, could this be the problem?



similar threads I read, but not actually helping...

Been a known problem for a very long time...

Been a known problem for a very long time...

And is this problem present as well on Merlin?

And is this problem present as well on Merlin?

As far as I know, yes. Some firmware doesn’t have the behavior and some do. Try it and see if it resolves your issue.

 

[jorgemarmo]

Just a follow-up:
- I installed Merlin 386.1 for a completely different issue (I needed to use PBR...) [my issue on another thread]
and as a "byproduct" the client list seems to be working fine (as expected)

[Edit 2021-02-15]
Nope... Some devices are still showing on the client list long after they are disconnected...

 

[jorgemarmo]

This is getting really annoying, any workaround?

 

[ATLga]

See if this works

Release - Asuswrt-Merlin 386.1 is now available

Discovered another curious thing. After setting up an AC68U as an AImesh node on 386.1_2, my Samsung S5 battery's life span seems much shorter. Without using the phone (it's just laying around the house) its battery completely drained within 24 hours. I also notice this happening when using...

hi, @ATLga thx for the tip, but is not working for me....

Hi,

I have a GT-AC2900* where both the router web UI and the Android app are showing incorrect client/devices lists. In my case, I have devices which are shown in DHCP leases, and which I can see the accurate traffic for in Traffic Analyzer > Web History, but they still do not appear in the normal client lists. Annoyingly, it does not list the device hostname (as shown in DHCP Leases) in either the Web History or any location where a Devices dropdown appears (VPN, filtering etc..), it shows only the MAC of the device.

*Firmware: 9.0.0.4.386_41994

Surely, accurately showing the connected clients is the basic of basic administration detail for a router's administration tools.

Thanks

EDIT:
Reboot fixed it, added the missing devices and removed some 'stale' conns

 

[jorgemarmo]

Yeah, reboot works for me too... But for me is not even a workaround...
After reboot for some hours (maybe even 1-2 days) the client list gets accurate information, if I disconnect or connect a device, it will show, but after some days it gets "frozen"...
Same behavior with Asus firmware or merlin
