Most wifi-accesspoints (WAP) and wifi-routers (WRT) support the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). This is a standardized method for monitoring/manageing network connected devices. SNMP uses a tree-like hierarchy where each node is an object. Many of these objects contain (live) lists of insances and metrics, like network interfaces, disks, and wifi registrations.
+A lot WiFi access points and WiFi routers support the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). This is a standardized method for monitoring/manageing network connected devices. SNMP uses a tree-like hierarchy where each node is an object. Many of these objects contain (live) lists of insances and metrics, like network interfaces, disks, and wifi registrations.
This device tracker needs SNMP to be enabled on the router.
