Hello. Through my mikrotik I need to know how many wi-fi devices are within reach of my router. Is this possible?
That would be MT router model RBMagicRouter.5hld. It comes with a crystal ball attached to the top. ![]()
The best you can hope for is
a. scans for other APs in the area or anything else that is actively tx on wifi. (believe that is a function on all MTs with radios
b. lists active connections (so that you can see who is connected to your networks).
If you want a device that knows about every wifi capable device in a radius from the device, suggest contact the NSA.
/interface wireless scan wlan1 background=yes
Actually, there is “wireless snooper”, which can show all devices communicating around - not just AP but also clients connected to different AP!
However, it will not show wifi devices which are not communicating (what a surprise, right?)
Wireless scanner works well. It’s under the wireless tab in Winbox.
Whichever tool you use, I suggest NOT using your AP as it’ll drop current clients. Your kids won’t like you ![]()
Use a spare router.
Ahs yes, snooper is good IMHO and gives a loooot of information.
Sent from my cell phone. Sorry for the errors.
