Two RT-AX68U (fw 388.1) routers are in AiMesh mode. The "Main_WStatus_Content.asp" menu (System Log->Wireless Log->Wireless 2.4 GHz) displays only those Wi-Fi devices that are connected to the master/main AiMesh router. How to find "Rx/Tx & RSSI" parameters for devices connected to a AiMesh Node?
 
iwconfig - not found
wlanconfig - not found

#nvram get wl_ifnames
eth5 eth6

#wl -i eth5 assoclist
#wl -i eth6 assoclist
These commands only output the addresses for the main/primary AiMesh. Node addresses are not shown.
 
You may want to download the stalist.sh script from https://github.com/megalloid/bcmdhdscripts

Then, ssh to the mesh node after you ssh to the mesh router.
In my case, I ssh to my node (ET8). Interestingly only the node interface has wl0.1 wl1.1 etc, my 5Ghz clients is on wl1.1

so I run
Code:
/jffs/scripts/stalist.sh wl1.1

The GUI on the node shows that there are two Wi-Fi devices (and this is correct).

UPD.

The node has interface wl0.1. Yes, devices are visible there. Thank you!
