User-specified radio names

RouterOS General

I’d love to be able to associate a user-specified “radio name” field with a given MAC address, but “radio name” appears to apply only to other Mikrotik units.

I often resort to “interface wireless registration_table” to see who has dropped off or is having connection problems. The entries are not presented in any particular order, they move around (especially those for people who are dropping in and out) and I have to resort to a paper table of MAC addresses to see who is who. This is the sort of thing we pay computers to do. :slight_smile:

If I could associate a specified string with a MAC address, I could immediately see which radio is which customer.

One way to accomplish this is to put all MAC addresses into the ACL then comment the ACL entries. Then, the mac addresses in the ACL with comments will show up in the registration table with their comments.

Wow! It works! It doubles the size of the registration table as printed, but it’s better than nothing. Thanks!

I’d still appreciate it if the developers could add a way in a future release to make it show up in the Radio Name field, though.
