It's called Wireless Network Watcher. The name is a bit of misnomer because it shows anything connected via your router; not just wireless connections but cabled ones as well. It shows IP address, device name, MAC address, when detected etc. https://www.nirsoft.net Go to list on left, choose Network Tools and scroll down the list of software. The download link is quite a way down the page after the list of versions and other bumf. I've just updated to version 2.40. On Windows 11 defender flagged it up as a low potential risk but it's perfectly safe so I allowed it. It was recommended by Computer Active magazine. -- Chris
