Problems with get_hosts_info() and Fritz!Repeater

Open marvinjuette opened this issue 5 years ago • 2 comments

The devices connected to the network via a repeater are listed in the Fritz!Box WLAN connected devices list. But unfortunally they don't get returned when calling the get_hosts_info() method.

I think there is a general support problem with repeaters in libary at the moment.

Yes, there seems to be some confusion about device names in a network including repeaters, regardless whether they are part of a mesh or not. Currently for me it looks like an issue of the AVM devices because the device names are returned as is without any further processing.

I have the same issue with FritzOS 8.0.0. Before upgrading my Fritzbox 7590 from version 7.4.? (don't remember exact version) get_hosts_info() was fully working. After upgrade to 8.0.0 the returned array is always empty.
