Your router should also be able to tell you which devices are connected.
Again, with so many router makes and models on the market, we can’t give you instructions for each one, but it should be simple to do-find the instruction booklet or a guide on the web for your device, and it will only take a couple of minutes. From Online Devices list, you can view the connected device information such as IP address, name, and MAC address. It’s also worth applying any pending firmware updates, which ensures your router is running the latest and most secure version of its own basic operating system. Log in to your routers web-based management page (check the nameplate on the router for the default IP address). As you saw when you accessed your router settings for the first time, you need a password to get into the menus and a separate one to connect to Wi-Fi, so changing them both gives you maximum protection.
First, change the default password you for accessing the router settings page to something else-this will stop anyone who might gain access to your network from changing the Wi-Fi password themselves. While you’ve got your router configuration page open, a few other settings are worth looking at.
