WIFI History

[scorpionmark]

Is there a way to print a report that shows devices that your wifi router detected but did not connect to? Basically I'm trying to gather a history of all devices that reached my wifi over the course of maybe a week. Those that connected and those that did not but were seen by the wireless router.

Usually the router will only log what is currently connected to it.

Depends on the platform. Some commercial APs like Meraki will keep beacon stats from other clients that don't associate to you in order to keep 'driveby' stats and similar to help people analyze the volume of foot traffic near their business.

Most consumer routers don't give a crap unless someone tries to associate with the SSID.

Do you know if the Meraki APs will capture something like mac addresses of devices that may come into proximity?

You could probably do something yourself with airodump, depends on your goals.

Fingbox does this. Nice little network device to monitor things. Although this free service is slowly becoming a pay for cool features service.
