Clean up device list?
Is it possible to clean up the device list in the device manager section of the XR700? Seems that every time I VPN in to my router it adds a new "device" which is there forever. I know I can delete...
I don’t think delete all will help. I’d like to keep all the devices which I’ve set a static IP for on the list but just delete all the duplicates. Seems that every time my MacBook vpns to the router it’s creates a new device with a fake mac address.
I guess i could delete everything once, save the settings then restore the router from the saved settings once per week. Does the router run Linux? Any way i can ssh in and set up a cron job to do that?

If those devices are actually offline and then it comes back online then it will reappear. It's more to delete them when it gets out of hand adding non devices. That seems like more hassle than it worth but you're able to use telnet.
- Will it also delete the dhcp ip reservation
- If a manual IP reservation has been set then no as the device manager doesn't deal with that, that's controlled by LAN Settings. Most of the time those offline devices have no IP so deleting them will have no DHCP affect.
Thanks. How do I find out when the bulk delete is added?
