Router listing is where you can search for routers, and provides access to backups, firmware, fleet commander, security, and login manager.
Router Grouping #
Learn how to organize routers using grouping.
Search #
Search for your router by name, tags, package, model, identity, notes, management ip, ether1mac, IP or serial number.
Sort & Filter #
Click the Column header to set sort order. Click the funnel icon in the Tags column to filter the view to show only routers with those tags.
View, Add, and Edit your Routers #
The Router List page is your first stop when it comes to adding your routers to Admiral. Once you add a router, you can see if it is online or offline, enable backups, run a speedtest, edit settings, and more.
Rediscover Routers #
The Rediscover Routers button (green outline) on the router listing page runs the Discovery process on demand.
What is Discovery? #
Discovery is how Admiral keeps its records in sync with the actual state of your routers. It runs automatically once a day, so most changes are picked up without any action from you.
Use Rediscover Routers when you’ve made a change and don’t want to wait for the next daily run. For example, if you change a router’s WinBox port, click Rediscover Routers to have Admiral detect the new port and update its records right away.

Name #
This is the name you chose when you added the device to your database.
#
IP #
This is the IP you will use to connect to the device using WinBox. You will place this information along with the Port into the Connect To: field of WinBox
Port #
Admiral Platform will automatically assign a port for use with the IP. You will combine these to enter into WinBox. The resulting string will look like this: vpnX.admiral.com:XXXXX (X will be a number that is automatically created by Admiral Platform and cannot be changed by the user)
Status #
The device status will be either Online or Offline. If there are permission issues the status will be orange.
