no hostnames on traffic analyzer

[john9527]

Just a couple of SWAGs....
- You have some really long hostnames....I'd manually assign those keeping to 16 chars or less.
- You also have duplicate hostnames, I'd manually assign those as well to make them different.
- The code that does the parsing is pretty old and simplistic.....keep to alphanumeric, dash and underscore (no special characters or spaces).

Hi
Im having the same issue on a different router. Latest merlin version.
RT-AC56R 384.6
Hostnames are really simple and are shown on the System Log - DHCP leases page but they still dont show at the Traffic Manager - Traffic Monitor per device page

Is there anything i could do?

What's really fun -- dealing with Chromebooks...

Random Hostnames - and with DNS requests... no hostname... just a wildcard on the client request...

hello
bumping this. im running latest 384.7_2 with no improvements on the Traffic Manager - Traffic Monitor per device page hostname issue. All other pages on the router gui that deal with clients, will show hostnames instead of plain ip address

bump as well

traffic analyzer showing mac addresses and adaptive qos page not showing all devices

hello all
i want to report that this was just fixed with latest 384.13 update. thanks @RMerlin
Nothing from my side had to be done. hostnames started to show right after performing a dirty upgrade from 384.12
