There are two ways in which you can view the computers and devices that are currently part of your network. You can either access the Device List for a graphical overview or through the DHCP Client Table for a detailed display.
It is important that from time to time you view the connected devices to ensure that only those with access to your network are there. In the case of unsecured networks, there may be other unsolicited users that can infiltrate your connection or utilize your network’s bandwidth.
Viewing connected devices through the Device List
1. Log in to the router's web interface.
2. Click Device List on the navigational pane.
3. The Device List will open and the list of all devices that have accessed the network or are currently connected will be displayed.
You will be able to tell the device availability by its Offline/Online status. You can also remove an offline device by clicking the X button on each block.
Double-click on an item on the list to display the device details. You will be able to see the manufacturer name, model number, as well as network details of the device.
