One place to view connected devices?

RouterOS Beginner Basics
1

Using webfig, is there a single place where I can see basic details of all the connected devices (wifi and wired)? Something like …

  • Hostname (if known via DHCP)


  • IP address


  • MAC address


  • Connected via (Interface / SSID / Bridge Port)


  • RX/TX Rate


  • Uptime / Last Seen

I spend ages switching between a bunch of pages like DHCP Server Leases, Wifi Registrations, IP ARP etc. which is quite frustrating. Is there some sort of “union all” page or a way to create one? Just about every $100 consumer grade router I’ve used has something like this. I know RouterOS is a level up but this seems like a pretty basic feature.

I think people on the forum used to add a rule to Kid Control for this kind of monitoring:


/ip kid-control
add name=monitor mon=0s-1d tue=0s-1d wed=0s-1d thu=0s-1d fri=0s-1d sat=0s-1d sun=0s-1d

Data are available in the Devices table. But there is no bridge port / interface, and the counters only count IPv4 traffic, IIRC.

There has been similar commentary in past, see http://forum.mikrotik.com/t/why-so-hard-to-give-friendly-name-to-a-client/154276/1

But there is nothing like Arris/Motorola/Actiontec/etc/etc style with the “Connected Device” list, which I agree is nice. (Now the generic ISP routers are certainly less nice other places)

Thanks for the suggestions. I didn’t look under kid control yet so will check that out.

Asus, Fritz, Nokia, Netgear etc. all have a basic list of connected client devices sensibly presented. I wonder how Mikrotik decided not to.

Many of my devices have a web interface running on port 80 (esphome, raspberry pi etc.) so a hyperlinked IP address would be the dream. One vendor used to do that. It was so useful.
