RouterOS Script to Find iPhones

RouterOS Script to Find iPhones

 

This script will find devices in the DHCP Server leases list with a string in the device name. The purpose is to find iPhones so we can rate limit their upload, so as to not consume all our uplink bandwidth on slow connections by putting them on an address list. Feel free to use or customize.
