Archer C50 - Incomplete Client List
This thread has been locked for further replies. You can start a new thread to share your ideas or ask questions.
I have an Archer C50 operating as a WiFi router. It is connected to a Cable Modem on the WAN side, and the LAN port is connected to a DLINK 24 port ethernet switch (DGS-1100-24). There are three TP-Link Wireless APs (EAP245) connected to the Dlink switch which handles all my WiFi traffic
In the web interface for the Archer C50, I am unable to see a complete list of all my wired and wireless clients. In particular, I do not see the TP Link APs, which are a wired connection. This is a problem, as I cannot connect to the APs to configure, since I do now know their IP address.
Note that the Archer C50 is the only device assigning IPs through DHCP.
It seems I have the latest firmware on the Archer C50.
How can I get the complete list of wired and wireless clients connected to my network?
Thanks,
Andrew
First make sure that you're withe the latest FW release for your C50 (there's a newer version on the support portal).
DHCP Clients List shows only devices with DHCP obtained IP addresses:
Are you sure that your EAPs are set to obtain their IP addresses dynamically ? They could be with static IP addresses and that would be the reason they're not in this list.
If that's not the case you could use an app like 'Angry IP Scanner' which can scan your LAN and you'll find your EAPs IP addresses, then set them with static for easier management.
If you want to go further in optimizing your network (since you already have three EAP245) you can check the Omada solution which can give you a highly scalable, all controlled from a single interface, anywhere, anytime mesh network.
