Access Point Clients

[bartenderck]

Is there a quick way to tell which clients are connecting through the Raspberry Pi AP extender? I’m using this on a RPi Zero W and so far so good. Thanks for the code and tutorial.

You could use tools like nmap or nbtscan to search on the Extenders ip range of 192.168.7.1/24 to see which clients are connected, for example by running "nbtscan -v -s : 192.168.7.1/24" on the command line

I assume I would need to install nbtscan to do this?

Yep with a simple "sudo apt-get install nbtscan"

Thank you for your help but I am having this error message:

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ nbtscan -v -s : 192.168.7.1/24 192.168.7.0 Sendto failed: Permission denied 192.168.7.255 Sendto failed: Permission denied pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo nbtscan -v -s : 192.168.7.1/24 192.168.7.0 Sendto failed: Permission denied 192.168.7.255 Sendto failed: Permission denied

Thank you for helping me through this.

That means there is no device connected since 192.168.7.0 is the network address(a device cannot have that as IP) and 192.168.7.255(broadcast address). Had an actual device be connected, it would have shown

I know a few devices are connecting through the repeater because I have checked their IP address, example 192.168.7.7 or 192.168.7.127, but they aren’t showing up on my list. How do I see the list?

you can use nmap sudo nmap -sn 192.168.7.1/24
