Nowadays, almost all of us can’t live in a place without access on the internet. It’s part of our daily routine. To fulfill our needs and stay connected to our work, family and friends, we avail internet subscription through our Internet Service Provider (ISP). And to make all our device (e.g. Laptop, Tablet, Smartphone, etc.) stay connected, we setup our home network using a router.
Broadcasting your internet connection through your Wireless access point or Router makes your friends and neighbors easy to access free internet connection as long as they know your router security password and they are in range.
Being the owner of the wireless network you have the right to know who are the people connected to your network. It’s so easy to know if somebody connected connected in your WiFi if you have the administrator access to your network and I’m sure as the owner you have.
To know if somebody connected in your WiFi follow the instructions below.
Using Router
In the steps given below I used Dlink DIR 300 in all the steps and screenshots, If you’re using different router, this may look different but at least you know where to look.
1. The first step is to access the admin control of your router. In the URL field, enter one of the following numbers based on the model of wireless router you use: 192.168.2.1 – Belkin, Microsoft, and SMC, 192.168.0.1 – Qwest (AKA CenturyLink), Netgear, DLink, Senao, Trendnet, 10.0.1.1 – Apple. In my case I use 192.168.0.1 because I’m using a Dlink router, if your router not included above, search on Google for your router name and include “default IP address” to find the correct information.
