Display connected WiFi clients?

RouterOS Wireless Networking
1

On the old version of WinBox, and the quickset mode, you could see all of the clients that were currently connected to the Wi-Fi. Is there anything similar to that on the new version of WinBox? Or is there a ROS command that will show this?

Depends on the wifi driver you are using:

wifi-qcom(-ac)
/interface/wifi/registration-table/
wifiwave2
/interface/wifiwave2/registration-table/

wireless
/interface/wireless/registration-table/

All can be accessed through menu items and cli.

that’s exactly what I’m looking for. Is there a way to have it display the host name of the client? presently it shows the MAC address. then I have to search on the DHCP server, active leases.
Like I said, I thought the old wind winbox did this automatically using quickset menu.

Could this be a feature request? I miss the information we had in the old Wireless driver.

I made a script for it but it is clunky.

:foreach i in=[/interface wifi registration-table find] do={
  :local mac [/interface wifi registration-table get $i mac-address]; 
  :local lease [/ip dhcp-server lease find mac-address=$mac]; 

  :if ([:len $lease] > 0) do={
    :local ip [/ip dhcp-server lease get $lease address];
    :local hostname [/ip dhcp-server lease get $lease host-name];

    :if ($hostname != "") do={
      :put ("MAC: " . $mac . " | IP: " . $ip . " | Hostname: " . $hostname);
      /log info message=("MAC: " . $mac . " | IP: " . $ip . " | Hostname: " . $hostname);
    } else={
      :put ("MAC: " . $mac . " | IP: " . $ip);
      /log info message=("MAC: " . $mac . " | IP: " . $ip);
    }
  } else {
    :put ("MAC: " . $mac . " | Not found");
    /log info message=("MAC: " . $mac . " | Not found"); 
  }
}

I also really liked the signal information in the old driver. Was really handy when troubleshooting.

I placed this feature request at Mikrotik support last year. Sadly it was declined. Maybe it needs some more people requesting it.

+1 from me
+10 from my colleagues :slight_smile:

That used to be a very useful feature.

Only 3 days later and new version 7.17 shows band information. :slight_smile: Not perfect, but for how fast they responded I think it’s awesome! :wink:
