RTRMON RTRMON v2.2.3 -Nov 16, 2025- Monitor your Router's Health (New: Wireguard, AMTM, Network Conn/Bandwidth/Diag + Port Scanner + Speedtest) - v2.3.0Beta7

[jksmurf]

Nice work on coming up with a solution, @jksmurf! I may have already asked, but what happens if you run RTRMON on the nodes? Does it give you this info as well, or does it revert to displaying these clients as LAN clients?

Yet to be tested! Maybe next year …

 

[Viktor Jaep]

Fixed a flaw in the way RTRMON captures Wi-Fi stats that became apparent after moving to the GT-BE98Pro. This should now display your stats correctly and should be backwards compatible with other router models and firmware versions. This was the last item on my list to fix before a formal release... please give it one last test! Enjoy!

RTRMON v2.3.0b7
What's new?
- PATCH: Fixed the Wi-Fi stats page, as it was using an older method of collecting interface stats. With the newer routers implementing per-SSID/VLAN accounting at the driver level, the parent interface (ex: wl0) no longer accumulates statistics directly. This new method of capturing this info should be backwards compatiable with other routers and older firmware. TBD!

Significant Screenshots:

Showing that we're getting stats again! Whoo!

Works for me on GT-BE98 Pro primary router and GT-AX6000 AiMesh node. Thanks!

@Viktor Jaep: I must say that the reworked wifi client page (aka page 7) is FAST compared to the previous version, even on my large, complex network — roughly 10 seconds from start to finish to refresh about 80 clients!

That's great to hear, @visortgw! I've got some plans to firm it up even more. That'll be for the next release!

Sorry I believe we touched on this briefly above, but can you remind me, to see the client details (RSSI e.g.) for clients on AiMesh nodes, do you need to have Merlin installed on the Nodes and enable this option on the main “Mark Router As iMesh Node/Repeater/Bridge?” (Not sure why it’s iMesh not AiMesh).

Correct. I think they may have rebranded from iMesh to AiMesh... Then again, it could be a typo! Lol

Correct. I think their may have rebranded from iMesh to AiMesh... Then again, it could be a typo! Lol

Ok thanks. Will have to set up the node tomorrow, need a usb stick or ssd to install entware on it I think, as used by RTRMON.

Is it possible / could I request that you allow folks to exclude certain screens so you don’t have to scroll through a bunch of them? atm I’m just interested in screen 7, per client RSSI stats (and you saw above how I’m doing that at the moment, with scripts).

As there are screens I will never use, could these be excluded using an exclude list eg exclude 2,3,4,5 or an include one 1,6,7? Saves scrolling or cycling through screens that are of lesser interest.

For now, simply type p (aka previous) once screen 1 appears after initialization to rotate back to screen 7.

Alternately just start RTRMON telling it to jump to screen 7.

Thanks for the tip. You learn something new every day!

Very nice, thank you. It does seem to stay on screen 7 only, which is exactly what I was after. I’m not sure it uses the “screen” function when started like that, will need to check.

It seems to update (the counter) and roll over faster than I’d like it to (faster than my feeble brain can digest the information or copy it), is it possible to briefly freeze (f) the update so I can have enough time to read it / copy it please?

 

[Stephen Harrington]

please give it one last test! Enjoy!

Beta 7 working great for me @Viktor Jaep, thanks again for your constant improvements!

You can change the counter from 10sec to whatever you like under the settings.

Yes you can start RTRMON using screen with the option to jump to a particular screen (Example 7).

Sorry bad information. IT apperas to not work with screen for page 7.
Pages less than 7 look to be ok.

Ok noting that I put the command that didn’t work below to demonstrate what I ran, and trying with and without .sh and using just 6 per example in case 7 didn’t work, I’m not sure what I am doing wrong here?

I couldn’t get 6 to work either.

You do not need to use .sh.

agagne@rt-be88u:/tmp/home/root#  rtrmon -screen 6
or
agagne@rt-be88u:/tmp/home/root#  rtrmon -monitor 6

There should be an alias that gets created for you I believe as part of the install.

agagne@rt-be88u:/tmp/home/root# alias
rtrmon='sh /jffs/scripts/rtrmon.sh'

 

[jksmurf]

You do not need to use .sh.

agagne@rt-be88u:/tmp/home/root#  rtrmon -screen 6
or
agagne@rt-be88u:/tmp/home/root#  rtrmon -monitor 6

Yes, without .sh worked for monitor which I ran before, but as -screen/-monitor X did not work I just gave it a whirl to rule it out, ta.
