No one ever expects the assword.

Lol, AI for ya

Not sure whether that was a joke or not. But just in case it wasn't, matching "assword" instead of "password" is a fairly common practice so that it can cope with both "Password" and "password".

THANKS to all that helped me. i now have a UI script that compares router/node wireless stats with sortable columns, clickable refresh on demand button, clickable show wired button, highlights new device connection. Im sure i'll add/delete columns as I tinker about.

I am assuming you tried this and it worked for you?

Edit: sorry, grumpy today. Looks like it does!

Yup sure did.

TBH it took a while to get the final version as posted, I keep catching AI out telling little porkies, but got there eventually. Not at all ungrateful for your posts with your posted commands, just wasn’t confident in myself to do it that way.

So I thought I’d take a stab at it myself and post to help others out like me, who might need a few more details and steps.

The comment about “better AI” was very much tongue in cheek.

Yes, lots of ways to skin that cat. However, sometimes AI skins the furniture and confidently claims it was a cat. Saw that extra step to create the public key file and got confused. Sorry again!

I’m not sure I follow sorry, is that step not needed?

I’m not sure what the query is here sorry, is that step not needed?

your instruction was perfect, worked first time for me, thank you again, i even learned gemini for the next person who asks.

I think the keygen step creates both the private and public files. At least it did when I tried it last.

TBH I didn’t check for that rigorously on the way through, so I cannot say whether I saw both public and private keys being generated and both actively saved in the folder, on issuing the first line in Step 1.

I might go and check later for completeness, but I’m a wee bit wary of stuffing up my now working system.
