Multiple IP's in Bandwidth usage table

[daviddd.]

Hey all, just flashed to newest gargoyle on a linksys WRT54GL.

All is well and I've set up my PC, my brothers, my laptop and my ps3 with static IP's raning from 192.168.1.2-5.

When I go to the bandwidth usage table and click IP instead of total downloads the drop down box returns multiple IP's as seen in the picture attatched:

How do I remove all of these IP's except for 192.168.1.2-5.

When I check connected hosts only the ones I've specified are listed and none of these others.

While you were setting up the router, those were probably
issued via DHCP, and they should clear off on their own.

I believe the standard lease time is 24 hours, so they should be
gone in a day, but they may still be on bandwidth usage monitor.

To prevent this, when you flash fresh, you should have all your
stuff already setup as Static IP's before-hand.

Oh ok.

I wasn't aware you could set up static routes before flashing. How do you do that?

Also, is there any advantages to making the dhcp lease higher or should I just leave it at 24?

You can setup Static IP's ahead of time... not the routes.

Now as far as Bandwidth Usage, you'd have to clear it all out
before you can remove IP's from the listing.

Those IP's were DHCP assigned to devices while you were doing
the setup. I don't believe there is a way, yet, to remove the
individual IP's from the bandwidth monitor page.

I was talking about the DHCP lease would expire in 24 hours
and those IP's would be removed from there.

As far as DHCP lease - 12 or 24 hours should be fine.
I wouldn't leave it any longer.

The IP's have been removed from everything by themselves.

Thanks for the replies.

The IPs disappear after no data has been seen for the entire monitoring time frame has passed and no bandwidth data has been seen since there's no point in storing all zeros, it just wates memory and disk space.

That means that for the 1 year time frame they'll stick around for a while though.

This is why I only enabled the high-resolution monitoring for the 15minute timepoint -- even if you see a lot of ips, the bandwidth data expires quickly. High-resolution data for a 1 year time frame could easily max out the router's resources.
