RT-AC87U - DHCP Client list

CybPL

New Around Here
Hello,

I just bought Asus router and I have a question regarding AsusWRT. My current configuration looks like that:
Asus: Main router
TP-Link - It connects to Asus via WIFI and it works as a repeater/extender for 3 devices connected via lan cable (wifi connection to that router is not possible).

Previously as a main router I used also a TP-Link and I switched to Asus for better performance/range.

Now the tricky part - I cannot see those LAN devices connected to TP-Link. I only see a TP-Link router and a notification that there is more than 1 device connecting to Asus through this TP-Link.
First I thought there is something wrong with my TP-Link. I tried different firmwares (dd-wrt, openwrt, OFW), I tried different router - result is always the same. So I assume it's on Asus side.
You can see how it looks like on the screenshot. Is there any way to see those devices? Their IP's and MACs?
Each device has own IP, I can ping , those devices are able to take IP address from Asus DHCP server...
In terms of communication this TP-Link is totally transparent. The only issue are MACs and IPs shown in the DHCP section.

Any ideas? Or it's just a conflict between TP-Link and Asus and it will be this way?

Should still be able to see them under the DHCP leases tab of System Log.
