How to see who is on your Wifi ? No router.

[nub1]

Hi,

I just have 2 questions guys.

1)

How can i see what devices are connected to my Wifi ?

I do not have a router, i use a USB Wifi Card ( TP-Link TL-WN822N ) to share my PC's internet but i can't find a way to see which devices are connected to it, how can i see them ?

2)

Should i do anything in particular to protect my Wifi network, can the PC i share it from be at risk in some way, other than people using my internet ?

I use WPA2-PSK with AES encryption + a very strong random password, is there anything more i can do ?

Thank you.

If you use Android, fing is good.

Your security settings are good.

That should be enough to protect your WIFI.

Thanks, very nice app !

Is there a way i can make it scan the network on its own and let me know when someone joins btw ?

I've looked thru its settings but didnt see something like that, still a very nice app tho !

In regards to security, i've also set my firewall to block any traffic on that network that isnt internet sharing, forgot to mention 😀.
