Python classes and CLI tool for displaying live WiFi clients information from ASUS-WRT routers and all connected AiMesh nodes or regular APs.
ASUS-WRT has built-in clients information in two places:
- System Log - Wireless Log which is as detailed as it can be, but only shows clients from current device, which is very problematic if you want to look for node roaming (plus, by default you can't log in to Web UI of AiMesh nodes)
- Network Map - Clients - View List which is very limited in waht it can show, but at least lists all clients
For source data format see wl_log.md and clientlist.md.
Takes username, passowrd, main router IP and IPs of APs/nodes. Keeps MeshNode data for all APs including router and additional data polled from router (device aliases, IPs etc.) aas they are only available on controller.
Wraps around RouterInfo, which is fork of github.com/lmeulen/AsusRouterMonitor with get_wl_log() added.
Additionaly, attempts to parse raw data about connected clients (stations) and construct ClientInfo objects to be stored in map.
Stores all information about wireless station that are available from radio and optional additional metadata from router like friendly name (DHCP name), IP address, radio type, vendor (from MAC).
CLI app uses Rich library to draw live refreshing table of all clients groupped by AP and then sorted by RSSI from strongest to weakest signal.
usage: AiMeshClientMonitor [-h] [--delay DELAY] router [ap ...]
AiMeshClientMonitor
positional arguments:
router IP of AiMesh Controller or single Router
ap IPs of AiMesh nodes or APs
options:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--delay DELAY how many seconds between data refresh
It uses system Keyring to keep username and passowrd as they are the same for all AiMesh nodes. IPs are passed as CLI arguments with option to change refresh rate.
Fields in table:
- RSSI - value in dBm
- GHz - radio type, mapped as follows:
cablefor wired clients (those are omitted),2for2.4GHzused internally5for5GHzand5 GHz 2used internally (first and 2nd 5GHz radio if present)6for6GHzand6 GHz 2used internally (first and 2nd 6GHz radio if present)
- PH - PHYsical connection mode, extensions to 802.11 standard (d, ac, ax etc.)
- Client Name - DHCP name, name discovered by router or MAC if not available
- Client MAC
- RX & TX - currently negotiated receive and transmit speeds, rounded up to decimals; not actually transfer used
- Flag - various modes in convention from ASUS-WRT:
P- Powersave ModeS- Short GIT- STBCM- MU BeamformingA- Associated (omitted)U- Authenticated (omitted)
- Streama cnt - value of NSS
- BW MHz - bandwith allocated to client connection
- Conn Time - how long connection is established, HH:MM:SS
