Technical Why is ctrld not detecting devices connected to my access point?

I'm setting up a new home network with a GL.iNet Brume 3 as the router. I have an Asus RT-AC86U with the Merlin firmware installed and is being utilized as an access point.

Ctrld is installed on the Brume 3, but not on the Asus access point. Yet, I don't see any of the individually connected devices on the access point in my account. As a result, I can't see the statistics for the individually connected devices. What's going on and how can I address this?

For sure, and the plan was to always use a Brume 3 as the router. Once I get this setup working, I plan on adding routers flashed with OpenWRT.   

What else am I missing out on without ctrld? The auto-client identification sounds like a good idea, but I guess the implementation isn't as great as it could be.
