Have you ever wondered how many devices are currently connected to your router? Knowing the number of devices connected to your network can help you troubleshoot network issues, ensure the security of your network, and better manage bandwidth. In this blog post, we will explain how you can easily check the number of devices connected to your router.

Method 1: Checking Connected Devices via Router Settings

The most straightforward way to check the number of devices connected to your router is through your router settings. Here's how you can do it:

  1. Open a web browser on a device that is connected to your router.
  2. Type your router's default IP address into the address bar. It is usually something like 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1. Hit Enter.
  3. Enter your router's username and password when prompted. If you haven't changed them before, check the documentation that came with your router or try common default credentials like "admin" for both fields.
  4. Once you have logged in to your router's settings page, navigate to the section that displays the connected devices or the DHCP client list. The exact location of this section may vary depending on your router's make and model.
  5. Here, you will find a list of devices connected to your router along with their IP addresses, MAC addresses, and hostnames. Count the number of devices on this list to determine the total number of devices connected to your router.

Method 2: Using Third-Party Mobile Apps

If accessing your router's settings seems complex, you can opt for using third-party mobile apps specifically designed for checking connected devices. Some popular options include Fing, NetX, and Network Analyzer Pro. Follow these steps:

  1. Search and download a reliable network scanning app from your smartphone's app store.
  2. Install and open the app on your mobile device.
  3. Allow the app to access your device's network permissions when prompted.
  4. Tap the "Scan" or "Start Scan" button within the app to initiate scanning your network for connected devices.
  5. Wait for the app to finish scanning. It will display a list of devices connected to your router along with additional details such as IP and MAC addresses.
  6. Count the number of devices listed to determine the total number of devices connected to your router.

Now that you know how to check the number of devices connected to your router, you can easily monitor your network and ensure its security. Whether you prefer accessing your router's settings or using mobile apps, keeping an eye on connected devices is essential for maintaining a stable and secure home network.

Remember, it's always a good practice to change your router's default username and password to enhance your network's security. Additionally, consider setting up a guest network to further manage and control the devices connected to your network.

By regularly checking the number of devices connected to your router, you can take better control of your network's performance and security.
