Just need a log of when each client connects. Maybe via some DHCP log? I can't find anything. Even better would be alerts for new connections.
 
Like thru software or ssh? Or just in the Gui? In the gui if you goto system log/ wireless log it shows you there whos connected and for how long if that helps?
 
GUI would be best, but I'm fine with a script. The Wireless Log shows time since last connection but no history like a true log would have.

well theres also the general log.. if you set it to debug logging I believe it shows every connect/disconnect
 
it will also show a ton of other things as well that youll have to pick thru but connects/disconnects should be there as well.
 
I've figured it out. Didn't have to enable debug logging. Just had to increase the log_level to 7.

Code:
nvram set log_level=7
nvram commit

It was originally 6, which I think might be the default.
