Devices

The Devices page shows all devices that have connected to your router, organized into Online (currently connected) and Offline (previously seen) groups. Each device is associated with a Security Profile based on its point of entry.

Devices appear here even without an active DHCP lease: devices with static IPs, IPv6-only devices, and devices connected through an external switch (learned from the bridge forwarding table) are all listed. Names are resolved on the router from the device’s hostname, with mDNS/Bonjour used as a fallback to recover a friendly name.

Viewing Devices

Navigate to Network > Devices to see the device list. Each entry shows:

  • Name — The device’s hostname or a custom name you have assigned. Click to open the device detail page.
  • Connection — How the device connects: Ethernet, Wi-Fi 2.4GHz, Wi-Fi 5GHz, or VPN.
  • MAC address — The device’s unique hardware identifier.
  • IP address — The device’s IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. A lock icon indicates a reserved (static) IP address.
  • Data and Speed — Cumulative data usage and real-time upload/download speed for online devices.

Device Detail Page

Click a device name to open its detail page:

  • Summary — Displays the device’s current status (online/offline), connection type, Security Profile, IPv4 and IPv6 addresses, and real-time upload/download speed.

  • Data Usage — A chart showing historical upload and download over time. Use the dropdown to select a time period: Last Week (7 days), Last 30 Days, or Last 3 Months (90 days). Usage history survives firmware updates.

  • Name — Edit the custom display name for this device. If left empty, the device’s hostname is used. Saving shows a brief spinner and a confirmation, then refreshes from the router so the displayed name always matches the saved state.

  • Reserve — Toggle on to assign a fixed IPv4 address that persists across reboots. Enter the desired IP address within the device’s profile subnet. Useful for servers, printers, NAS devices, or any device that needs a consistent address.

  • Forget — Remove an offline device from the list. Custom name, reserved IP settings, and the device’s cached name are lost. If the device reconnects, it will appear as a new entry.

Tip

Reserve an IP for any device you plan to use with Published Ports. Port forwarding rules require a stable IP address to ensure traffic always reaches the correct device.

Note

Forgetting a device only removes it from the list. If the device reconnects, it will reappear. To prevent a device from accessing the network, delete the Wi-Fi password or Inbound VPN client it uses to connect.
