Some questions from a beginner

[Tepes]

First sorry for my bad English, which is not my native language. I hope you understand what I mean anyway.

Since a few days I am the owner of a Asus RT-N66U router. I am very satisfied with the device and use the custom firmware RT-N66U_3.0.0.4_374.35_4. A thank you to the developers for such a great job.

For me as a beginner, I have a few questions. When I log on the router, I can see some information. For example, how many clients are connected. I can then display exactly which clients are connected to the router to me. But unfortunately not currently connected clients are shown to me. I always have to manually update the display! Is this normal? If not how can I change this?

Furthermore, I use a repeater. Sometimes then 4 or more devices have the same MAC and the same name but different IP's. The router can sometimes take up to 10 minutes to display correct name and MAC (All devices have fixed, assigned IP's) Is this normal? If not how can I change this?

And finally, one last question. Where can I mount a network drive via CIFS? So far I have not found.

Thanks for your help in advance!

Various Networkmap issues on some configurations has been fixed in 374.36 Beta 1.

Can't be done through the webui. Read the documentation for instructions on how to do it over SSH.

Thanks for your advice. I have the beta 3.0.0.4.374.36_beta1 (NVRAM I have deleted) installed but the errors are still there. Maybe they're fixed in a later version.

No, check the README included in the firmware download. There's a section on CIFS.
