Number of clients connected to wifi ap
-
I am trying to find the number of clients connected to my onion ap.
According to openWrt this should be possible with iwinfo and iw.
However I get the following:
root@Omega-F142:~# iwinfo ra0 assoclist
No information availableroot@Omega-F142:~# iw dev ra0 station dump
nl80211 not found.I am using latest kernel release:
*root@Omega-F142:~# oupgrade -vDevice Firmware Version: 0.3.2 b232*
It is a clean install, more system info below.
Any suggestions?
Regards

The more area an access point covers the more variety there will be in the client connection qualities mytexasbenefits login

Most wireless access points and wireless routers can theoretically have 255 devices connected at a time!

@Welch-Jonas Probably you wanted to write 253 instead of 255.
I think you are talking about IPV4 Class C Private networks eg. 192.168.0.x - 192.168.255.x (/24 or netmask 255.255.255.0).
As you know the default IP address of Omega2 WiFi AP is 192.168.3.1, the Network address is 192.168.3.0 and the Broadcast address is 192.168.3.255 - so the usable client IP Range is 192.168.3.2 - 192.168.3.254 ie. 253 IP addresses.But
uci show dhcp
dhcp.wlan=dhcp
dhcp.wlan.interface='wlan'
dhcp.wlan.start='100'
dhcp.wlan.limit='150'
dhcp.wlan.leasetime='12h'So theoretically max 150 active and inactive (!!!) WiFi clients can connect to an Omega2's AP at a time and the default DHCP pool of is 192.168.3.100 - 192.168.3.249.
BTW I'm afraid OP wants to know how many active clients
connectedare connecting to that AP "just know".

@Kim-Nyholm I think
iwandiwinfoare not working as expected due to WARP CORE (the Onion Enhanced MT7688 WiFi Driver).Check the '/tmp/dhcp.leases' file that lists all the devices which connected to that AP so far (in the last 12 hours - it's the default lease time).
If you want to know only the number of active clients thenflushactualize the arp cache in some way.Do you want an example?
