Currently I’m using route10, and connect my existing switch and 2 APs (use 3 LAN ports in total).

I found some of devices doesn’t have ip address displayed. and I can’t find pattern, all three LAN ports have some devices missing ip.

This is similar to posts like Show IP Addresses for devices connected to Alta Switches, but i’m not using Alta’s switches.

I also read one hypothesis is the static ip, but none of my devices using static ip, (or just because they haven’t renew dhcp lease yet?)

Hope you have identified the bug and have plan to fix it, thanks!

I also see this issue with the route 10. I think it may have something to due with 3rd party switches.

This does tend to happen a lot before devices renew IP addresses on DHCP, as the name is provided through DHCP.

Thanks, yea I think this is the root cause.

After rebooting most of my devices, and they all get displayed. And I set the renewal time to short period to get most up-to-date stats.

So the remaining issue is, if a device use static ip, it won’t be displayed, while this might be a minor issue.

Instead of relying on DHCP to display address, maybe can use ARP? Or add a button to trigger manual ARP scan. (added a feature request tag)
