Connections for disconnected clients remain active

[Volt]

I noticed that some connections in the "System Log - Active Connections" page remain active even half an hour after the client that created them has disconnected from Wi-Fi. Does anyone know if this behavior is normal?

I find all router logging abnormalities to be normal.

It's possible to over-analyze things on the router. Unless you see a specific problem as a result, it's safe to assume the router is working correctly. And as @OzarkEdge suggests, you can't fully trust everything the GUI reports. If you have concerns, you'd be better off to monitor the connections directly using the conntrack utility available via the CLI.

watch -tn5 'conntrack -L'

P.S. I'm assuming Merlin firmware here. I don't know if the OEM firmware contains this utility.

I assume that some unclosed connections that my Windows 10 leaves unclosed are causing an error with QOS. They belong to the WpnService (Windows Push Notification Service).

So what are the QoS issues that you believe you are seeing?

Here is the post that describes this error. What I've noticed is that looks like this error occurs exactly one hour later after the laptop that disconnects from WiFi leaves two unclosed connections from the "Windows Push Notifications System Service" that stay active for an hour, and then, as soon as this error appears, these unclosed connections disappear from the list of active connections.

The "conntrack utility" perfect for my needs.. Nice one for pointing this one out.. Learning new things everyday!
