Clients¶
On the left side of web Admin Panel -> CLIENTS
The Clients page displays information about connected devices, including device name, connection type, IP address, MAC address, speed, and traffic.
Device Name¶
The device name displayed here depends on the hostname of the device operator. You can modify the device name and type.
Click the three-dot icon in the Action column, and in the popped-up menu, click Modify.
MAC Address¶
Many devices will use randomized MAC address. If the connected devices use randomized MAC addresses, there will be a prompt.
Note: The rule here is that if the second character of the MAC address is 2, 6, A or E(Ignore case), then it is considered a randomized MAC address. However, some devices may use a different rule to generate a randomized MAC address, so it may not be accurate.
Speed¶
The speed here is the average speed over 3 minutes.
- Open the current page for 10 seconds, the average speed of the last 10 seconds is displayed.
- Open the current page for 30 seconds, the average speed of the last 30 seconds is displayed.
- Open the current page for 60 seconds, the average speed of the last 60 seconds is displayed.
- Open current page for 3 minutes, the average rate of the last 3 minutes is displayed.
- Open current page for 10 minutes, the average rate of the last 3 minutes is displayed.
Reserved IP¶
This feature is available since v4.8
When you specify a reserved IP address for a client within the LAN, the client always receives the same IP address each time it accesses the router's DHCP server.
You can assign reserved IP addresses to computers or servers that require permanent IP settings.
Blocklist¶
Enable Block toggle to block client device. The access control rule is Blocklist by default, you can switch it to Allowlist from the top if needed.
Blacklist: Devices with MAC addresses on the prohibited list are not allowed to connect to this router.
Allowlist: Only devices with specific MAC addresses are allowed to connect, suitable for IoT devices and enterprise network management.
Starting from firmware 4.4.x, you can upload a block list in excel form or input Mac addresses manually to creat a Block List.
You can either import a list from a CSV file at (1) or input the Mac Address one by one at (2).
Note: Blocking client is based on the MAC address of the device, so if the blocked device use a different MAC address next time, it can still connect to router.
Sort¶
The current sort type is displayed in the upper right corner, and you can switch to other sort types.
The default sort type is as follows:
- The self device is always on top.
- In the online client section, the later the device is connected, the higher it appears in the list.
