Help with home networks

Sat Jan 19, 2019 12:54 am

I need to know if there's a best way to know the exact number of APs in a customer home.
For example, a coworker installed 3 APs and one goes down, but as you know, customer never knows the exact number of APs in his home and thinks that there's something not working.
I log into the router and in neighbors I see only 2 APs that are working, nothing broken, but I don't know that there is a third one without losing time asking to the customer.
What can I do?
I've already made a script that, when DHCP lease is bound and the lease platform is MK, it adds a dst-nat with RB's current IP address and MAC, when it goes down, the script just disable the nat, adding downtime, so I know that there was a RB connected.
I want to know if there's a better way to do this, any suggestions?

DBs should be updated by people, never trust people.

Would not capsman usage on the router point to a specific setup?

Yes, I can use "create enabled" with CAPsMAN, but I wouldn't have ap-bridge...
