Device Manager inaccurate

[netdoomer]

Hi there

i'm new to the community

just setting up my duma right now.

i finde the device manager is inaccurate. i don't see all the devices, not even if they are wired.

as you can see on the screens i have more devices listed than what the duma shows.

 

i must add: some devices are connected trough 2 other access points (mr18 and mr26) - but some devices are connected directly to the netduma via a switch. i can access all devices, i just don't see them in the list. anything i'm doing wrong?

 

thanks

Your devices that are connected to the access points won't show up on you're device manager,everything connected directly to the duma either via wireless or wired will show up

Your devices that are connected to the access points won't show up on you're device manager,everything connected directly to the duma either via wireless or wired will show up

cheers Benormous

 

can't agree with you 100% - like on my screens, the mobile devices where connected trough the AP's, and they show up. some directly to the duma connected wired devices don't show up.

somehow i can't figure out why some devices show up, and some not. but for the devices not showing up i can't set the congestion control

If you use any static IP addresses ON devices, maybe those are not showing.

[netdoomer]

Good point

I'll check that later.

Could this be a bug?

Hopefully somebody will be able toexplain

[e38BimmerFN]

It may not be a bug as I've seen other MFr routers behave in the same way with Static IP addressed devices. It's all how it handles Dynamic, Reserved and Static on the router.

 

Also unknown names are due to usually the device not having a actual host name since some routers try to handshake to get this information to use in the connections list. Some routers can get the make or model info depending.

[netdoomer]

Agree, some can, some can not handle stuff like that. For me the device manager is an important part of a router.

 

@netduma guys: maxbe somethink to look into?

[BENORMOUS]

The netduma team are not too active over the wknd on the forum but come Monday Fraser will see it I'm sure

[netdoomer]

sure, no thing. the also need to have some rest and play some BO3

 

by the way. i figured, firefox works better than chrome browser. some stuff will just display different.

[BENORMOUS]

Yes I use Firefox too I find it works perfect

[netdoomer]

i used chrome, now connected with Firefox - firefox is better. especially in Network Monitor

but still didn't change anything, that my wired devices (directly to the duma) don't show up

 

we'll see

If you go to DHCP lease in settings do you see more devices listed than the device manager shows?

[netdoomer]

Hi Fraser

 

Yes i do. and some of them are named like that: device123 / 192.168.1.172 / 192.168.1.250

So as the device would have 2 ips.

But only one is reachable. Kinda weird...

[Netduma Fraser]

Okay so the duma is detecting them. Do they appear in congestion control under device prioritisation?

 

It's likely the first IP was one it had before and then changed. You can set them to static in DHCP lease to prevent this happening.

[netdoomer]

some devices where it happens have fix IP's (e.g Access Points, NAS etc)

 

i'll try the static DHCP thing an let you know

[Netduma Fraser]

Great, keep us updated!
