What does "Access Point enhanced data" do?

It's under Tools - Miscellaneous Options. Google gives me no results.

Access Point enhanced data
Requires supported parent router with
equivalent HTTP access
 
Welcome to the forums @caoko.

What router and firmware version are you talking about?
 
It’s a unique option on John’s fork to retrieve info from a parent router.
  • Added option for AP mode routers to retrieve IP and name information for AP clients (Tools > Other Settings)
    Both the parent router and AP mode router must be running fork release 50E8 or later

there is an option to select openwrt. But openwrt uses root, instead of admin. Anyway to change admin to root?

You don’t need to authenticate. It uses wget.

Code:
Enabling AP extended data on OpenWrt with the LTS Fork

- OpenWrt configured with the default web server uhttpd
- http access enabled on the AP
- http access enabled on OpenWrt using the same port as the AP
- OpenWrt extended data option is selected under Tools>Other Settings

SSH to OpenWrt and enter the following commands

mkdir /www/local
ln -sf $(uci get dhcp.@dnsmasq[0].leasefile) /www/local/dnsmasq_leases.txt
