Hi Kevin,

Indeed as you have said, only the VR600 is set with DHCP enabled. The C7 has its DHCP disabled. Nevertheless, the lists are confuesd.

As an example, here is what my VR600 shows now for the "Wired Clients" list. Actually, expect for the devices 1 and 3 that are truly wired, the remaining items in this list are actually wireless.

Wired Clients

At the same time, C7 is showing 2 wired clients and both are truely wired. It also shows 0 wireless clients, while for sure there are few connected and active as can be seen using the Advanced IP Scanner.

@uribench I know it's been two years, but that is the normal behaviour because TP Link routers' client list is actually a network list, not an actual client list of the router or AP.

They detect network traffic (ARP packets more specifically) and populate the lists, no matter where devices are connected or how.

So, from the router point of view, any device connected to the AP is a wired one because it sees traffic coming from an Ethernet port and hence it says "cool, this is a wired device".

Plus, there is a bug when showing devices in access points that turns out to be years without being fixed... I even saw a post dating 2016 :S That explains why you don't see all devices in C7.

So, to summarize, it's not that they confuse them and they're actually two different issues:

- Main router will show as wired all devices that it discovers by analyzing LAN traffic. That's not really a bug, from its point of view it doesn't know if there's an access point somewhere or not, it just knows packets from a device are coming through the LAN port.

- Access points have a firmware bug, not solved in years. Sometimes they won't display the correct client list. In fact, they may not even list wireless devices that the very same AP has to authenticate. Turns out it's more prone to happen in AP mode. But so far still not solved.
