View Devices Currently on the Network

You can view the active wired and WiFi devices in both the network to which the access point is connected
and the access point network. If you do not recognize a WiFi device, it might be an intruder.
To display the attached wired and WiFi devices:
1. Open a web browser from a computer that is connected to the same network as the access point or to
the access point directly through an Ethernet cable or WiFi connection.
2.
Enter the IP address that is assigned to the access point.
If you did not enable the DHCP client on the access point or did not assign a static IP address, enter
the default access point IP address 192.168.0.100.
A login window opens.
3. Enter the access point user name and password.
The user name is admin. The default password is password. The user name and password are
case-sensitive.
The Home page displays.
4. Select Administration > Attached Devices.
Wired devices are connected to the access point with Ethernet cables. WiFi devices are connected to
the access point through the WiFi network, in either the 2.4 GHz band or the 5 GHz band.
