WiFi - Not all WiFi Clients are shown under "Wireless Clients"

Not all WiFi Clients where shown under "Wireless Clients".
In the DHCP section i have a lease from a Client with MAC, Name and IP.
In the Packet Filter Live Log I see the access from this DHCP Client.
In "Wireless Clients" I miss him.

An other Client is shown in all Sections (DHCP, Wireless, Packetfilter Log...)

any Idea

yours

What Version are you running? See the top of the forum for info on how to open a good bug report ticket.

BTW, this bug is supposed to be fixed in 8.170 (at least according to what I read) so try up2dating to that if you aren't on that build already.

The wireless client list is not updated in real time, so there may be some delays between the client associating and appearing in the list. Furthermore the DHCP server may keep the lease even though the client already disassociated.

Does that match the behavior you're seeing?

Thanks,
Helmut

Hi,

Current version is v8.170b upgraded using up2date package.

yesterday I created a guest wireless LAN. I used my MAC to test the connectivity was working correctly. I was flitting between the guest LAN and my home users LAN so that could be the explanation as to why the use of a different IP address doesn't show in the wireless use list.
The IP address assigned doesn't show in the DHCP server listing either.
