How to get information about Wi-Fi clients?
Information on devices connected via Wi-Fi can be viewed in the web interface on the 'Client Lists' page.
In this table, you can get the following information (using the third device on the list as an example):
Network name of the connected device (
POCO-X4-GT);MAC address (
ba:33:34:f1:77:dc);The IP address assigned to the connected device (
192.168.1.85);Network segment to which the device is connected (
Home segment/Wi-Fi 2.4 GHz);Signal strength in relative value (as a graphical scale);
Current channel speed of the connection (
206 Mbit/s);Connection standard (
IEEE 802.11ax);Wi-Fi module configuration (
2x2 / 2Tx2R);Width of the channel used (
20 MHz).
If you click on a client entry in the list, a device card with additional information will open:
Here, the system displays the client's online time (connection time) and the amount of data sent and received.
Additional and more detailed information is available via the router's command-line interface (CLI). To get it, run the command:
(config)> show associations
For example:
(config)> show associations
station:
mac: ba:33:34:f1:77:dc (MAC address)
ap: WifiMaster0/AccessPoint0 (access point to which the client is connected;
WifiMaster0/AccessPoint0 is the 2.4 GHz network, WifiMaster0/AccessPoint1 is the 2.4 GHz Guest network,
WifiMaster1/AccessPoint0 is the 5 GHz network)
