Lucky for me, I can identify all those devices as authorized. There are two Android devices, one laptop and an iPhone connected to my network. Their host name is displayed for me to identify what those devices are. You can see from the list above that there are four devices currently connected to my Wi-Fi network.
I have to click on “Current Pool Summary to bring out the list. In my case for “Trendchip Solutions” it is under Interface Setup > Lan > DHCP Server. This might take some time, but if you don’t find it, go through every options and links present. It is usually under LAN settings or Advanced settings. Browse through your routers configuration option to find the one that lists IPs connected to your modem along with their Mac Addresses. Even the configuration interface for routers of a same brand can be different. This is because the software that powers the router is different for every case. Every router’s configuration options are different. You will now reach your router’s management screen. You can check your router’s guide for this. If you have not set this already, it might be username: admin, password: admin or username: admin, password: password by default. You will be required to provide a user name and a password for access. In the address bar of your internet browser, type the Default Gateway address 192.168.1.1 or something else that we got from the previous steps. Scroll through that information to find the one that says “Default Gateway” and find the number that corresponds to it. You will be displayed some information. Then open cmd.exe.Īlternatively, you can also press your Windows Key + R to open the “Run” dialog box and then type “cmd” to access Windows command prompt. For this, go to your start button and type “cmd” without the quotes. To find out the current devices that are connected to your wireless network, follow these steps:įinding out Default Gateway to Access Your Wireless Routers Configurations 
If you find a device that is unknown to you, then you can be sure that other people are using your internet. You can discover the devices connected to your Wi-Fi internet router. But if you suspect that someone has been freeloading off your internet connection, then there is a way to find it out. For this you have to keep your Wi-Fi network secure. You do not want unknown people to use or rather misuse your internet connection. If they somehow come across your network access key, they will be easily able to use your internet connection. When you turn on your security, people must enter a security key to be able to connect to your network. You are able to secure your Wi-Fi network by setting WEP or WPA security. When you broadcast your home Wi-Fi SSID, other people are able to view it when they turn on their Wi-Fi option in their devices.
