Thread: See who all are on my network

Okay guys I have a Wifi router SL2-141. I want to check who all are accessing my wifi network. I have setup a passkey, but I am still not sure if anyone uses or not so want to check.
What menu can I find this option? And I am certain that this can be done.

try this application.
deleted.

why an application? I think this information is provided in the router page itself?

You can get the information on DHCP page. It will list all the people who are using your wifi.

What is DHCP. will u explain ?

DHCP stands for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol.

When you tick "obtain an IP Address Automatically" on your Windows network setup, DHCP is where your PC gets that information. but

No, it won't: it will list all the people that your router's DHCP has issued an IP to! So, the guy who has configured a fixed address will not be on that list.

However, somewhere in your router's admin pages will be a status list of all wifi-connected devices.

Mine has Status --> Wireless --> Number of connected clients, followed by a list of MAC addresses. Yours may differ. Usually, even with my own modem or router, I have to go through all the menus to find the thing I want, simply because I do not use the admin functions often enough to remember.

This the page of Wifi router SL2-141, where you will get information about the current IPs hwo are connected to your router

you sure? Because it shows two devices atm and I think more are connected. Also it does not show computer name my beetel 450 tc used to show that.
DHCP shows the computer names.

The manual is at www dot iaddot cz/prez/ADSL_SL2-141_User_Manual.pdf. (Google SL2-141 and it's the first entry, is probably easier than translating my link back to a usable URL)

See p.63: wireless clients.

Check DHCP by all means, but it is only a part of the story. Many of us never tick "obtain an IP address automatically" anyway.

Perhaps you'd like to tell us why you are so worried? What's your evicence that your net is being used?

Have you changed the pass code? have you made it looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong and comp-783':;emnjkbhzxdj())@&cnk-licated? Because, if you have done that, nobody is getting onto your network unless they really know how to sniff your traffic and hack it.

Look after the simple stuff first!

Arrey! I am not worried. I just wanted to check it btw. I actually suspect my neighbours :P lol but wanted to see how can I monitor it.
Thanks a lot

Well, you can get that modem page up, positioned in a corner of your screen where changes will catch your eye --- and watch while you do other stuff.

You can also take another preventative measure: your router probably has MAC address filtering. Enter the MAC addresses of the devices you own, and it will refuse connections from others. Again, this is perfectly hackable --- but, unless those neighbours of yours are hackers, I'd say that this, and, more important, the good secure pass key, is going to keep them out
