Attached Devices Sorted by IP Number
I have a good number of devices on my home network. I manage then with static DHCP reservations and I wanted to be able to get an Attached Device display in the web ui sorted by IP number. The at...
Got questions about how I get the file into ORBI. Good question.
I use PuTTY so a copy-and-paste is pretty easy. Most other Telnet package have some sort of copy-and-paste function
Bacis idea is:
1. Select and copy the entire file on the workstation
2. Telnet to ORBI and login
3. cd /www
4. vi new.htm
5. o command to get to "add mode"
6. paste file (right mouse click in PuTTY)
7 ESC
9 clean up first and last line if necessary
10 w
11 q
mv DEV_show_device.htm DEV_show_device.orig
mv new.htm DEV_show_device.htm

I cannot believe how slick this is!
THANK YOU
I hope this isn't considered a completely stupid comment but I assume you realize that you can easily see attached devices in ip order on the access control page (advanced>security>access control) this gives status, name, address, mac, connection type. The only thing it lacks is the particular orbi it is attached to. Usefully this page also shows devices sometimes seen but not currently connected. Now since Netgear clearly knows how to do this easily why they don't do it elsewhere is a mystery, but at least it is here and easy to access without a lot of messing with the internals
Not a stupid comment at all. After I did the initial IP sort, I found it handy to actually be able to sort on any field. I added that in a second update.
Thanks,
Scott

My previously posted modification only wirh through v2.5.2.4. I have made the necessary updates for v2.7.1.60 and am looking for a couple of testers.
Tester much be able to telnet to router (RBR50) and have some Linux experience replacing files. vi is most likely method although netcat can also work.
If you are running v2.7.1.60 and interested in testing, please DM me.
After a bit more testing, I will most an update for the entire community.
