Whats connected to my router ?

ShiWarrior · 4 Oct 2018 at 15:55

logged into my router to change a setting
and it said 9 devices are connected to my router

3 of them I know (mine, my dads and mums PCs)
1 mobile device is mine (no idea which one)

any idea by looking at this ?

Amazon is most likely the ECHO

and my mum and dad both have mobiles too :confused:

Try https://macvendors.com/ this may help identify the devices based on the OEM.

Aside from this, do you have any AP's that are installed and connected via Ethernet?

i now know what is WIRED to it, just the wireless to go now

the "-" is Microsoft Cloud (i guess this is a windows 10 thing?) but 3 pcs here, and im sure none of us use it
the other "-" is the Sky Box

Bit confused. So there's 9 devices connected...

3 PC's
3 mobiles
1 Echo
1 Posh fan
1 Sky box

What exactly do you need to know?

but it is not though

only 1 phone is connected

Wired - 3 PC's, 1 Sky Box, printer, MS cloud
Wireless - 1 phone, 1 fan, 1 echo

anyway, the point of this thread was to make sure that everything that is connected is mine, and not next door or somewhere trying to gain access

cheers all

On a home network this small, surely common sense would prevail? Once you have identified the wireless devices (all three of them), unless you’re using powerline with default encryption keys on a shared circuit, then all you need to consider is where the physical cables go. If for example 4 cables go to four devices, then it’s a reasonably safe bet they are the devices in question.

Your neighbours aren’t after your nudes, stand down with the tin foil hat and chill

You could change your WiFi password, then each device will drop off. Now go around adding them back on.

Another option is to enable a MAC whitelist if your router supports it.
