How to remove entries in the client list?

[chromebook]

When visiting the clients tab there are old entries that never seem to disappear. How do you remove these without resetting the router?

Search is your friend:

Removing clients from DHCP list

Where can I turn off this “feature” or find the file to delete ? In client-list there is always missing the first wired client you are connecting from. At the moment if restarting the old client list is not deleted (->privacy).

I saw that thread but I could not believe that there was not a simpler way to achieve this.

It’s easier to just reset the device TBH.

I agree, there should be a simpler way to clear them out like maybe a “CLEAR” button.

any solution?
i have the same problem
trying to delete the following file doesn’t solve:
etc/tertf/tertfinfo_bak
/tmp/tertf/tertfinfo*

Hello!

That request exists in other post.

Removing clients from DHCP list

Thank you, this deletes the old clients. I have turned off "gl_tertf " always because it produces unwanted Background Traffic (ICMP-Calls to Google and Cisco). Why not take the data directly from openwrt ->luci ->Network ->DHCP and DNS ? I think sometimes it would be better to not “Reinvent the Wheel” and to stay closer with OpenWRT.

First stop this process “gltertf”

Then remove the following two files
/tmp/tertf/tertfinfo_bak
/etc/tertf/tertfinfo_bak

And restart your the glterf process or reboot.

Bye!

Can anyone advise on how to write this to a script? I am trying to set things up so these commands run on boot, but, for me at least, the ‘service gl_tertf stop’ command is running into errors when executed through a script. It seems to not understand what ‘service’ is.

Edit: Silly me, it’s easier to just add two lines of code to remove the backup files at the beginning of the start_service() function of /etc/init.d/gl_tertf.

Can you just add to /etc/rc.local

rm /tmp/tertf/tertfinfo_bak
rm /etc/tertf/tertfinfo_bak

[James13]

Thanks @alzhao! Is there any difference in results? How often/when is rc.local executed? I trust that this will be safer than what I’m doing but I like to understand these things.

It execute each time you reboot.
