Hi
My devices configured not to send host name and randomize MAC everywhere.
And "offline" section in "client" list gets extremely overfilled with dummy connections as they are all random and each new connection will result new mac.
Any way to move it to RAM to make it automatically clear on reboot?
Because for now there is over 60 (!) entries.
Please try these commands to clean the client list:
SSH to router:
rm -rf /etc/oui-tertf/client.db
sleep 5
/etc/init.d/gl_clients restart
If you want to permanently solidify this setting, you can add them to the /etc/rc.local.
TS noticed really big problem nowadays @bruce and @alzhao.
As you know many devices (Android and IPhone for example) comes with MAC randomization enabled by default.
I think you should add into new firmware toggle that will disable logging offline clients, if user encountered such issue.
TS encountered this in much bigger scales that anyone possibly can, but in my case there is up to ten new (not new, just MAC randomized) offline devices per month. Not really convenient.
So can we have a toggle please?
I'm new to Glinet and thought this would be a one-time thing and I wouldn't have given it time to clear the MAC address table.
How is it possible this isn't cleared automatically and the user has to delete the entries? What's the point or justification for this?
I have collected this requirement like adding a button to clear the offline clients, it will be handed to the PM for evaluation.
This is for personal/home users. The router log all clients which has ever connected to the router so that the user will check and find out suspercious connections to judge that if their wifi password is leaked.
I found it strange that it doesn't update the table like any other device, even though it's for home use. With these posts, it's clear that a problem is arising even in home use.
What do you mean? Can you explain?
In most router's this information expires after some time.
Some of router's keeps this info in RAM, so it is present until reboot.
Good feature, but should be a toggle. Because my Guest network is shared among many users and it starts so be a problem.
This make sense. Will consider that.
