Who's connected to my internet?

[LeadFarmer]

Is there an easy way of finding out if any neighbours are connected to my Vodfone internet?

I've occasionally given a couple of elderly neighbours my password when they have had connection problems, I trust them 100% however it's possible they could still be connecting to mine without them knowing, like when devices auto connect to previous networks

Naturally I could change my password of course.

Phone app called "Fing" should do what you need.

Login to the router, status and support, change to Expert Mode, click NAT Mapping Table. Should show you a list of devices. Eliminate yours, and voila!

Or just change your password?

It's Betty and Doris, not Anonymous

Breaking their phones isn't kind.

Basically, your router will tell you who/what is connected.

Do you live upstairs from me?

Download the Vodafone Broadband app to your phone, connect to your router and then you can see what's connected to your broadband.

No mucking around with 'expert' levels, etc. Then you can block anything you want.

Well that worked rather well, thanks. I can see there are 17 x devices connected, now starts the process of turning things on/off to identify them all

In future why not setup the guest wifi and turn that on and off when others need temporary access?

I didn't know that was possible until I installed the Vodafone app.
