One place to view connected devices?

Sun Apr 27, 2025 3:31 am

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 viewtopic.php?t=181433&hilit=friendly+name

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.
