For example, I see an tòa tháp named "Dulce" in Wireless Network Watcher, which is the name of my wife"s MacBook. I see another with no name, but with "Philips Lighting BV" as the network adapter manufacturer, it"s probably the hub for myPhilips Hue lights.

Mac users don"t have as many great options—LanScanis a decent pick, though it costs $6 for the full functionality.

If you"re lucky, you"ll be able khổng lồ recognize all the items on that list, but there may be a few that don"t have enough information. After going through my list, for example, I was left with a couple devices that listed no name and no manufacturer. However, I was able to get a little more information from my router"s web interface.

You can mở cửa your router"s management page by typing its IP address in your browser"s address bar. Once there, look for an option that sounds like "Attached Devices" or "Client List." This will present you with a similar các mục as Wireless Network Watcher, but the information may be slightly different. After cross-referencing the unknown devices between the two, I found one of them was listed as "AzureWave Technology, Inc" in my router"s interface, but not Wireless Network Watcher. A little Googling revealed that this was myRachio sprinkler system, so I was able to mark that down & move on.
