The hostname of the wireless clients do not show up in the radioname field even though all devices have a hostname. Doesn't matter if it's a Windows or Linux machine or if it's an Android or iphone or any of my other wireless devices. The hostnames do show up for the WDS stations after I edited the setup page to give the router a hostname. I've even tried putting in a DHCP-client ID on a linux box using NetworkManager but it still doesn't show up. So, anyone know what else I have to do? By the way, I'm NOT referring to Status->LAN page.

I have many times wondered the same thing. I would also like to see the hostname rather than trying to memorize MAC addresses Smile

Good point! That would make life easier.
However basic question is if Radioname is Hostname. This might be some not used / obsolete field. However even though Radioname might show Hostname, or column might be changed to Hostname.

I think that column was always a blank... Smile

I suspect DNS records were needed for that field to show names, which should be a local zone.
