How to see who is using your wireless network (Windows)


I think everyone wants to know that who are using their wireless connection. This tutorial will teach you how to know who are connected to your wireless network and is very easy to do so.
NOTE: This tutorial will also work to see the list of devices connected to your LAN network.
What You’ll Need
Wireless Network Watcher (software)
Wireless Network Watcher is a small software that scans your wireless network and LAN network to display the list of all computers and devices that are currently connected to the network.
Download this from here
Process
After you have downloaded the software, install it or directly run it if you have downloaded it in ZIP format.
Then you will see a lots of columns in the software which means the following.




  • IP Address: It is the IP Address of the device or computer.
  • Device Name: It is the name of the device connected to the network. This field can be empty if the computer or the device doesn’t provide its name.
  • MAC Address: The MAC address of the network adapter of the device.
  • Network Adapter Company: The name of the company that manufactured the network adapter, according to the MAC Address. This column can help you to detect the type of the device or computer. For example, if the company name is Apple, the device is probably a Mac computer, iPhone, iPad or Apple related products.
  • Device Information: I think it gives another simple information about the connected device but this column displays ‘Your Computer’ for your computer which you are using and this column displays ‘Your Router’ for the main router.
So, now you can see who are stealing your WiFi and also who are connected to your LAN or WLAN network. Good luck..!!!
