I always hate reading forum posts only to find there is no conclusion / solution posted. So, here it is:The original intent of my tested configuration was to change my ASUS router to a repeater. The TMobile router is direct wired to my ASUS. Changing the ASUS to a repeater would allow me to move the TMobile to different locations to maximize the signal.I never had any problems setting up the ASUS to be a repeater. As soon as it was set up this way, I could disconnect the cat5 from the TMobile router. But when I unplugged the TMobile to relocate it, it would fail to reconnect to the ASUS. I tried both DHCP and static IP on the ASUS. (it would have been helpful to have that capability on the TMobile.) After many attempts with different tweaks, it was a complete fail. I give the TMobile a zero for management capabilities. While I was able to find a partial client list on the phone app, when I use the same app on a chrome book there was no such capability. And, as I
Itinker - Thanks. Excellent info. I’ll give zenmap a try later when I’m on my Windows machine.(trying to wean myself from windows and using Chrome OS, which is much faster. I’m trying Network Scanner here.) And of course the ARP command should also work to tell me what I need.In order to set a static IP, I’ll have to direct connect just to get back control, if I can’t locate it with these other resources. I should be all set though. Thanks for the excellent clues. Cali Cat - I’m not following you. I’m not seeing any option in any version of the TMobile app that let’s me look at connected devices.
Thank you for your reply. I already had all of this information.The question is: How can I view the clients that are using the TMobile wireless? I have set up my router in ranger extender mode. It has since disappeared, since I don’t know what address was assigned to it. I was hoping to gain a little more speed with the new setup, but I will have to revert back to the old way if I can’t view assigned IP addresses.I appreciate the fact that TMobile is trying to make things simple, but now it’s way too simple if you can’t perform simple networking chores.
