R15 Client List
« on: December 14, 2021, 12:03:44 AM »
All my Apple devices appear as Unkown in my client list, I am assuming it is because they have apostrophes in their names.  Can a request be made for a future update to make ' a valid character?

I tend to avoid special charaters in host names. Underscores or Dashes sometimes.
Is Private Address enabled? IF so, this can cause DEV or Unknown to be displayed possibly.

I just have the defaults on my iPhones.  The R15 allows some special characters but I guess ' is not one of them.  David's iPhone can't be entered name field as this is my name on the iPhone itself.

We connected a few iPhones to my unit (2.03.09 firmware) and they show as "Unknown".

I can manually change the name and use an ' without issues (via eagle pro app). I checked mine at home and like half the devices are "unknown". Seems when there is no device name it is unknown.

Finally got a BETA for this issue. There are still issues with iOS 15 devices.

https://support.dlink.com/resource/PRODUCTS/R15/FIRMWARE/R15_REVA_FIRMWARE_v1.05.01_HOTFIX.zip


Android and iOS (14 and below) have been tested and appears names are showing up. For iOS 15.x devices, which enables private address in Wi-Fi settings, both DIR-X5460 and R15 cannot identify the device name.

The router supports the following protocols to fetch client name, and it can get client name via discovery/request sent by client from one of supported  protocols:

a. DHCP
b. NETBIOS
c. mDNS
d. LLMNR
