get_hosts_info() with 5GHz WLAN Devices

[ObiWanLansi]

Hi everybody,

i've a problem with the get_hosts_info() function from FritzWLAN, this function only returns the 2.4 GHz devices, but not the 5GHz devices.

But the function get_hosts_info() from FritzHosts return all WLan devices (but without some properties like signal and speed).

Have somebody else the same issue or an solution ?

Thnx, ObiWanLansi

As the method names are the same, FritzWLAN inspects the active devices for a single service (2.4 GHz, 5 GHz or the guest network). FritzHosts instead inspects all known devices, regardless whether they are active or inactive or connected by LAN or WLAN. Therefore you get different informations.

To get the host informations from all active devices connected via WLAN, FritzWLAN has to iterate over the services, i.e.:

from itertools import count

import fritzconnection
from fritzconnection.core.exceptions import FritzServiceError
from fritzconnection.lib.fritzwlan import FritzWLAN

fc = fritzconnection.FritzConnection(address='x.x.x.x', password='the_password')

for service in count(1):
    # example to reuse fc once it's instanciated:  
    fw = FritzWLAN(fc, service=service)
    try:
        print(fw.get_hosts_info())
    except FritzServiceError:
        break

Ahhh, i belive i understand now, the Network is an parameter at FritzWLAN, and 2.4GHz is the default value, so it works for me fine. But when i want to have also the 5GHz devices, i muss add this parameter. I'll try again :-) .

Thnx
