Wireless Log

[cdikland]

I have been using Merlin FW on all my (supported) routers for as long as I can remember. Today, I decided I would like to experiment with AiMesh and started by flashing the official FW (RT_AC68U_300438445717) on my AC68U AP before tackling my main AC86U router. When I consider some of the lost functionality and the pitiful wireless log I wonder if it is worthwhile. My main beef is how wireless clients are listed in this log displaying only the MAC address.

Is there a tool/utility/etc that one can use to translate this log from MAC to IP addresses or do others just live with this inconvienience???

I've been messing with IT since MS-DOS. My goal has long been to keep it simple... I make choices to keep my boxes as plug and play as possible. So, I live with it but it's not an inconvenience since I don't bother with it.

I'd suggest you keep your eye on the ball before aborting... if you've decided to try AiMesh, then do that and then decide if it's worth it.
