Wireless Network Watcher is a compact NirSoft tool which can scan your network (wired, as well as wireless, despite the program's name), and report on everything that's currently connected.

• Wireless Network Watcher will access your network and show you the devices that are using your Internet. After a quick scan, you’ll see all the details of any network intruder found, including their IP address, the type of user they are, and their MAC router. However, you may need to scan a few times to ensure all connected devices are listed.
• Configure and manage Sierra Wireless mobile broadband modems. This app provides easy access to the full capabilities of your Sierra Wireless hardware. Compatible with Sierra Wireless Mobile Broadband Driver Package v. 18.11.2.17 (or newer).

For every device and computer it uncovers, Wireless Network Watcher will list its IP address, device name, MAC address, network adapter, and (sometimes) an additional description that may tell you what the device actually is ('Your Router', say).

And the report can be saved for future reference as a plain text, XML, CSV or HTML file.

Everyone likes free Internet, but why should you be paying for everyone to use yours? Wireless Network Watcher lets you see who’s connected to your WiFi.

Watching your WiFi

Don’t experience slow Internet speeds just because some stranger’s hogging your WiFi. Scan now and find out who’s using your Internet.

You pay for your Internet, you password protect your WiFi, and yet you’re still experiencing slow speeds? Perhaps it’s time to check if anyone’s figured out your old password. Wireless Network Watcher will access your network and show you the devices that are using your Internet.

After a quick scan, you’ll see all the details of any network intruder found, including their IP address, the type of user they are, and their MAC router. However, you may need to scan a few times to ensure all connected devices are listed as Wireless Network Watcher doesn’t always show every connection.

Once a scan completes you’ll see icons next to each device listed, letting you easily identify them. The software is easy to use but offers no way to interact with any intruders using your Internet. There is no way to send a warning message or block a device from your Internet. You’ll either need to do some sleuthing and find out who owns the device or change your router’s password.

Scanning your network won’t use up all your system’s requirements. You’re even able to leave it running in the background as you play a game or watch your favorite YouTuber. Identifying Internet leeches has never been so easy.

Where can you run this program?
