What's new

Wireless Report AiMesh v1.4.9 [2026-Apr-16] - WebGUI Table of all AiMesh connected devices showing RSSI (available in AMTM!)

but I’d be curious what timeout @Viktor Jaep, @ExtremeFiretop, @Martinski use.

We don't use --connect-timeout or --max-time on our curl requests.
So a single attempt can wait as long as curl, the system, and the network stack allow, and we have never had any related issues.

This BTW was also mentioned by @dave14305 here that a timeout of 3 is too short:

I think it's well agreed upon with most script devs that 3 is too short, you can either extend the timeout or remove the parameter if it's causing issues.

v1.4.7-minor updates.
 
Anybody else having issues accessing the wirelessreport folder using the routers usb samba share?
It looks like when the name changed from gen_report to wirelessreport I now get an error when trying to access from another machine.
Looking at the routers web gui for samba everything looks ok. Permissions on the wirelessreport folder are the same as other folders
that work fine. The file smb.conf in /tmp/etc still references gen_report with nothing for wirelessreport. Changing the smb.conf file is
pointless as that is generated elsewhere.
 
Queries to existing and potential users alike:

Refresh Behaviour

To existing users: so the report is designed to generate an update as soon as you press the wireless tab. I understand it counts 9s to allow that update to happen, then shows the updated report time. I have found though, on my system, if I then reasonably soon after the initial update, manually press refresh, there is always a disparity between the two update events i.e. it seems like the manual update actually prods the devices into properly populating the report, whereas the initial tab-click generated update did not. Is anyone else seeing this behaviour?

Single Router Setup

To potential users, I learned recently that currently Wireless Report only installs if you have Nodes, but the potential is clearly there for it to work on single router setups as well, just on Main. Asus does have these details (after a fashion) for the main only, in the built in System Log, Wireless Log, but IMO it is nowhere near as good as the all in one, sortable, configurable colour-coded presentation that Wireless Report gives you.

So would this be something you’d install just on your main, single router setup?

Yup, have seen this since the first version installed. I can't say always but , it has become a habit to refresh again after the first page load.
 
While we are on refresh behavior.
@JB_1366 Would it be possible for for the sort order to be maintained to whatever you have last selected
when a refresh happens? Rather than reverting to the default sort.

good question
 
@JB_1366, not seeing the names of my nodes.

Not sure this is the correct way to do this but it worked to resolve my access issue.
In the USB mount there are a number of hidden files that contained a clue and ultimately the answer.

drwxrwxrwx 2 agagne root 4096 Apr 16 17:56 wirelessreport

I edited the following files and replaced gen_report with wirelessreport, then restart samba.

agagne@rt-be88u:/# cat /tmp/mnt/rt-be88u/.___var.txt
*=331
*entware=331
*wirelessreport=331
*MerlinAU.d=331
agagne@rt-be88u:/# cat /tmp/mnt/rt-be88u/.__agagne_var.txt
*=331
*entware=331
*wirelessreport=331
*MerlinAU.d=331
agagne@rt-be88u:/# cat /tmp/mnt/rt-be88u/.__folder_list.txt
sh_num=3
sh_name0=entware
sh_name1=wirelessreport
sh_name2=MerlinAU.d

After the samba restart the entry that was gen_report in /tmp/etc/smb.conf had been changed to wirelessreport.

[wirelessreport]
comment = rt-be88u's wirelessreport in Generic STORAGE DEVICE
path = /tmp/mnt/rt-be88u/wirelessreport
dos filetimes = yes
fake directory create times = yes
valid users = agagne
invalid users =
read list = agagne
write list = agagne

:cool:

ask and ye shall receive :cool:

v1.4.8-column state is saved on refresh, one caveat, on side-by-side view, you have to wait 30 seconds and use webpage reload.

Hmmm, on Manual refresh, my RSSI sort is always reverting to some other sort now, maybe SSID, can't work out what :-( ... bring back 1.4.7...

v1.4.9-revert back to v1.4.7 code, everything was working perfect. then I tried after @jksmurf replied, and it wasn't working. I'll try and figure it out.
 
v1.5.0-beta : Report column state is saved on refresh, one caveat, on side-by-side popout view, you have to wait 30 seconds and use webpage reload.
here's a beta copy for ppl to test, i'm using chrome browser. let me know if working/not-working, what web browser used, what happened, etc.


Code:
curl -sfL --retry 3 https://raw.githubusercontent.com/JB1366/Wireless_Report/beta/wirelessreport.sh -o /jffs/addons/wireless_report/wirelessreport.sh && chmod +x /jffs/addons/wireless_report/wirelessreport.sh

Cool! Worked for me on both Chrome and Firefox. Tried hostname and rssi columns.
One thing it doesn't maintain is sort by node. If I sort by hostname and then by node, only the hostname sort remains the same.
Something for another day.

cool, will look into right-click sort save
 
1.5.0-beta2 : fixed right-click-node-sort column save state. <--- EDIT: say that 10 times real fast.

Code:
curl -sfL --retry 3 https://raw.githubusercontent.com/JB1366/Wireless_Report/beta/wirelessreport.sh -o /jffs/addons/wireless_report/wirelessreport.sh && chmod +x /jffs/addons/wireless_report/wirelessreport.sh

Wow, another day already...... 👍
Can confirm, node sort worked in Chrome and Firefox on both stacked and side by side.
