NOTE: Network Clients that show on the Welcome screen directly map from the current Router's
DHCP client table. If a client (a Computer or other Network device) has a fixed IP setting, the
Welcome screen may not be able to display its name, and due to the Table Aging control, some
network clients also may not show on the Welcome screen, for example, a longtime inactive
network client or a client with no access to the Router.
