This article will show you how to open a list of IP addresses that can access your router. This can be done on a Windows or Mac OS X computer (via the router's configuration page) and on an iPhone or Android device (using dedicated applications).

Steps

Method 1 of 3: On the computer

1. 1 Find out the IP address of your router. For this:
   • Windows: open the start menu , click "Options" , click on "Network and Internet", click on "View network settings", scroll down to the "Wi-Fi" section and note the address in the "Default gateway" line.
   • Mac: open the Apple menu , click on System Preferences, click on Network, in the left pane, click on your wireless network, click on Advanced, go to the TCP / IP tab and note the address in the Router line.
2. 2 Open your web browser. Double click on your web browser icon (for example Google Chrome).
3. 3 Click on the address bar. It's at the top of the window.
   • If there is any text in the address bar, remove it first.
4. 4 Enter the address of your router. Enter the address you found in the Default Gateway (Windows) or Router (Mac) line, and then click ↵ Enter.
5. 5 Log in to the router's configuration page. Enter your username and password and then click ↵ Enter.
   • If you have not changed the default username and password, look for them on the case of the router or in the instructions for it.
6. 6 Find a list of connected devices. The location of the list depends on the router model, so review the Settings, Advanced Settings, Status, and Connections tabs.
   • Some routers have this list under DHCP connections or Wireless connections.
7. 7 View the list of connected devices. The devices listed are currently connected to your router and are thus using your network.
   • Many routers also display devices that have connected to the router in the past (but are not currently connected). These devices are usually grayed out or otherwise marked as not connected.
