ASUS Merlin not showing static ip addresses

Post by zillah »

Dear folk
Main router at home is ASUS RT-AC5300 Merlin (v384.19) this router has :
- ASUS PoE switch (192.168.10.2) connected wired to it
-Two other routers connected wired to it as well acting as access point to extend the wireless signal (192.168.10.3 & 192.168.10.4)
On ASUS RT-AC5300 under Network Map --> View List I can't find those 3 ip addresses ?
Thx

Maybe it is just that firmware, maybe the list only shows dynamically allocated IPs in the DHCP range? The stock firmware on my Asus RT-AC86U shows static IPs as well. Once in a blue moon the GUI stops showing clients all together in that screen though, a reboot brings them back up.

Do you see the IPs in other screens, like QoS target clients for bandwidth limit, for example? Have you tried rebooting it?

I think it is a bug in the firmware and yes it does show dynamically allocated IPs
Even I can't see the printer which has static ip and while I was printing (means there is activity) I was monitoring the list of ip addresses,,,,,printer didn't show up

Yeah, I wouldn't worry about it much. If you can ping/traceroute to the IPs and communicate with them that's all it matters.
