To find out what is your router IP address is router IP tracker:

http://www.ipaddresslocation.org/router-ip-address.php

http://www.find-ip-address.org/router-ip-address.php



To find out your WAN IP address:

Type 192.168.2.1 into the address bar of your browser as if it is a web page name. This should up the configuration program on your router as a web page.



Look for DHCP. You should find a table there that list all the devices that have connect to your network recently (the default is usually 21 days). It will list their hostname, IP, and MAC addresses for you.

Open the router's configuration page in a browser. There should be a page that shows you the attached devices, the IP addresses, their MAC addresses and device names (if any). You didn't mention the model of router, so I'm kind of guessing on this, but such a page is available on most router configs.

Most of the routers have a way of seeing all connected clients through the web interface. Type the IP of the router in your browser and browse the menus.



If you have a DLink wireless router, you can see wireless clients at Status/Wireless. You can even see more detailed information at "active sessions", including the IP they are connecting, the PORT they are using and protocol (TCP/UDP).

Some routers will let you see all connected devices but these addresses can change since you probably use DHCP on the router.

sounds like a netgear router ..if thats the case go to the wireless tab and there it will reveal the mac addresses of all devices

if you use wpa as an encryption it will cause computers not to attach itself to your network

I just use the following DOS (Command Prompt) command. I use Windows XP Pro, so it may not work with every OS:



FOR /L %p in (2.1.254) do ping -n 1 192.168.2.%p >> pingstat.txt | findstr /i ""



If you wanted to do this routinely, create a .bat or .cmd file with the following:



@echo off

rem Pings every node in the 192.168.2.x network

echo Please wait. Discovering network connections...

if exist C:\pingstats.txt del C:\pingstats.txt

for /l %%p in (2,1,254) do ping -n 1 192.168.2.%%p >> C:\pingstats.txt

findstr /i "TTL" C:\pingstats.txt



Note that this will only show you the IP addresses and not device names.

I suggest you to use free tool, which will help you to find not only IP-addresses, but also MAC-addresses, computer names and so on in the subnet. It's called Advanced IP-scanner.

Here it is a link:

Login to your router and look for something like "DHCP lists table"--or basically anything with DHCP in it. It will show you everything connected to your router.
