Traffic monitor and hostnames

[Veky]

Hi all,

Got a couple quick questions.

In Network Map, when you add a name to a client, later on you can only change the name but you can't remove it and let it auto resolve. How can I delete the client? In which file does it save the names?

Also in per IP traffic monitor, for example, daily or monthly stats, it will only show the hostname if the client is actually connected at the time of checking the stats. Is this how it's supposed to work? (all clients have DHCP reservations)

Thanks in advance.

Asus didn't provide a mean to remove a defined client, you will have to remove the entire list:

nvram unset custom_clientlist
nvram commit

This is normal. If I remember correctly, since there is no guarantee that an IP will always belong only to a specific client, the name only gets resolved if the client is actually connected, confirming that the IP really is used by that specific client.

That worked perfectly, thanks!
