command line method to list device names

[akb]

I can not seem to find a method to retreive device names on my ac88u. running arp -a shows ip, address, and network, but not the device name. I seen in other posts arp -a will also show the device name, so something most be different with the ac88u. Is there a nvram get command to list the names?

Ideally I am looking for a command that will show the following for my ac88u
1.) Device Name
2.) Mac Adress
3.) IP Address
4.) Network Connection
5.) How long it has been connected

Many thanks, sorry for multiple posts with questions, but I am really appreciating the great responses!

There's no reliable way to get that information, especially the connection time. But "arp -a" ought to return the host names assuming it's in the router's DNS. Have you installed a different version of arp?
