Have you noticed that the internet is Beltelecom Is your Wi-Fi slower than usual? Perhaps unauthorized devices have connected to your Wi-Fi network—neighbors, guests, or even hackers exploiting vulnerabilities in your router's security. On average, between 5 and 15 devices (smartphones, laptops, smart speakers, cameras) are connected to a home network simultaneously, but that number can increase dramatically if someone has used your password.
Check the list of devices connected to the router Beltelecom There are several ways to block unwanted neighbors, from the standard web interface to specialized apps. In this article, we'll discuss all the current methods, their pros and cons, and provide recommendations on how to block unwanted "neighbors" on your network. Important: Some methods require router administrator rights, so prepare your login details in advance (they're usually found on a sticker on the back of the device).
1. Checking via the web interface of the Beltelecom router
The most reliable and accurate way is to use the router control panel. Web interface displays not only the number of connected devices, but also their MAC addresses, IP, and sometimes even the names of models (for example, iPhone 13 or Samsung Smart TV). The instructions are suitable for most router models provided by Beltelecom: Sercomm H500-s, Huawei HG8245H, ZTE ZXHN H267A and others.
To access settings:
- 🌐 Open your browser (Chrome, Firefox, Edge) and enter in the address bar
192.168.1.1or192.168.0.1If none of the addresses work, check the sticker on your router - it may indicate a different one.IP(For example,192.168.100.1for some models Huawei). - 🔑 Enter your login and password. By default, this is often
admin/adminoruser/user, but if you've changed them, use your own details. If you've forgotten your password, reset the router using the button.Reset(hold for 10 seconds). - 📊 Go to the section with the device list. The path may vary depending on your router model:
- Sercomm:
Network → LAN → DHCP Clients List - Huawei:
Home Network → Device List - ZTE:
Network → WLAN → Associated Devices
- Sercomm:
In the table, you'll see all active connections. Note the following columns:
| Parameter | What does it mean? | Example of meaning |
|---|---|---|
Host Name |
Device name (if it broadcasts one) | iPhone-12-Pro, DESKTOP-5T4G7H8 |
MAC Address |
Unique identifier of the network card | 00:1A:2B:3C:4D:5E |
IP Address |
Local IP assigned by the router | 192.168.1.103 |
Connection Type |
Connection type (Wi-Fi or cable) | Wireless (2.4GHz) |
If the list contains devices with unfamiliar MAC addresses or names (for example, "android-123456" not linked to your gadgets), they should be blocked through the section Access Control or Parental Control.
2. Using the My Beltelecom mobile application
If you find it inconvenient to work through a browser, you can use the official application My Beltelecom** (available for Android And iOS). It allows you to manage tariffs, pay for services, and—in some cases—view a list of connected devices. However, the functionality depends on the router model and firmware version.
How to check:
- Download the app from App Store or Google Play and log in using your phone number (linked to the contract) Beltelecom).
- Go to the section
InternetorMy services→ select your tariff. - Find the tab
Wi-FiorMy networkSome versions of the application have an optionConnected devices. - If the section is missing, try updating the app or checking the compatibility of your router (the list of supported models is on the website). Beltelecom).
⚠️ Attention: In 2026, the My Beltelecom app does not support viewing devices for routers older than 2019. If you have a model Huawei HG8245H or similar, this method may not work.
3. Command line: ping and arp method
For experienced users, there is a way to check connected devices without logging into the router - through command line (Windows) or Terminal (macOS/Linux). This method only shows active devices on the local network, but does not provide information about model names.
Instructions for Windows:
- Click
Win + R, entercmdand run the command line. - Enter the command to scan the network:
for /L %i in (1,1,254) do ping -n 1 192.168.1.%i(If your router uses a subnet
192.168.0.x, replace1.1on0.1.) - After scanning, enter:
arp -aThis command will show the table
ARPWithIPAndMAC addressesall devices that responded to ping.
Example output:
Interface: 192.168.1.100 --- 0x12
Internet Address Physical Address Type
192.168.1.1 aa-bb-cc-dd-ee-ff dynamic ← router
192.168.1.103 11-22-33-44-55-66 dynamic ← smartphone
192.168.1.105 77-88-99-aa-bb-cc dynamic ← unknown device
⚠️ Attention: This method will only show those devices that active at the time of scanning. If the gadget is in sleep mode or disconnected from Wi-Fi, it will not appear in the list.
Make sure it is not a guest's gadget or a smart device (speaker, light bulb)
Try disabling it through the router's web interface.
Change your Wi-Fi password to a more complex one (at least 12 characters)
Enable MAC address filtering (if your router supports it) -->
4. Specialized programs for network scanning
If standard methods don't work for you, you can use third-party utilities. They not only display connected devices but also provide additional information: manufacturer MAC address, connection history, traffic consumption speed.
Popular programs:
- 🖥️ Advanced IP Scanner (free, for Windows) - scans the local network and shows all active
IPwith device names. - 📱 Fing (For Android/iOS) — identifies devices on the network, checks for open ports and vulnerabilities.
- 🌐 Angry IP Scanner (cross-platform) - supports export of reports to
CSV. - 🔍 Wireless Network Watcher (from NirSoft) — specializes in Wi-Fi networks, shows connection history.
Example of work Fing:
- Download the application and open it.
- Click
Scan— the program will automatically detect your network. - After 10-30 seconds, you will see a list of devices indicating:
- Manufacturer (by
MAC address) - Device type (smartphone, PC, router)
- Last connection time
- Manufacturer (by
⚠️ Attention: Some antiviruses (for example, Kaspersky or ESET) may block network scanning, viewing it as a potential attack. Disable protection or add the program to the exceptions list during the scan.
How to determine the manufacturer by MAC address?
The first 6 characters of the MAC address (eg. 00:1A:2B) are called OUI (Organizationally Unique Identifier) and are assigned to IEEE manufacturers. You can check which brand owns an address on the website MAC Vendors or via the command in the terminal:
curl "https://api.macvendors.com/00:1A:2B:3C:4D:5E"
The answer will be the name of the company, for example: "Apple" or "Xiaomi Communications".
5. Checking through your Beltelecom personal account (for some tariffs)
If you have a tariff with advanced management options (for example, Home Internet + Wi-Fi Control**), V personal account on the website Beltelecom A section with information about connected devices may be available. This method is less reliable than the router's web interface, but it's convenient for a quick check.
How to find:
- Log in to the website
my.beltelecom.by(or via the “My Beltelecom” application). - Go to the section
My Services → Internet. - Find the tab
Wi-FiorUsage statisticsSome plans display a graph of device activity over the past 24 hours. - Not all tariffs support this feature.
- Data is updated with a delay (up to 1 hour).
- Doesn't show
MAC addresses, only the number of devices.
🔹 Limitations of the method:
6. How to block unknown devices
If you find unfamiliar gadgets in the list of connected gadgets MAC addresses, they can be blocked. To do this:
Method 1: Via the router's web interface
- Go to your router settings (see first section).
- Find the section
Access Control,MAC FilteringorParental Control. - Add
MAC addressunknown device to the blacklist (Blacklist). - Save the settings and reboot the router.
Method 2: Change your Wi-Fi password
If there are many unfamiliar devices or you're unsure of their origin, it's easier to change the network password:
- In the router's web interface, go to
Wireless → Security. - Select encryption type
WPA2-PSK(orWPA3, if supported). - Create a complex password (example:
k7#pL9!vN2@qR4). - Save the changes - all devices will be disconnected and will need to reconnect.
⚠️ Attention: After changing your password, update it on all your gadgets (smartphones, smartwatches, printers). Some devices (for example, Amazon Echo or Xiaomi Mi Home) may not connect automatically and will require manual entry.
7. Why is it important to control connected devices?
Regularly checking the list of devices on your Wi-Fi network not only helps identify rogue devices, but also:
- 📉 Save traffic - third-party gadgets can consume up to 30% of the speed, especially if you watch videos in
4Kor download torrents. - 🔒 Improve security — Hackers often connect to unsecured networks to steal data or spread viruses.
- 🛠️ Diagnose problems — If the Internet is lagging, the reason may be channel congestion (for example, 20 devices on a router with a bandwidth of 100 Mbps).
- 📡 Optimize the network - some devices (for example, old smartphones) can create interference on the frequency
2.4 GHz.
🔹 Advice: Configure it in your router guest network for visitors. It isolates their devices from your main network, which increases security. In most routers Beltelecom This feature is available in the section Guest Network.
FAQ: Frequently Asked Questions
Is it possible to check connected devices without access to the router?
Yes, but with limitations. You can use:
- Mobile apps like Fing (will show only active devices).
- Team
arp -ain the terminal (see third section).
However, these methods will not provide complete information (for example, about devices in sleep mode).
What should I do if an unfamiliar MAC address appears in the list of devices?
First check:
- Have you had a guest (such as a friend or relative) connect to your network?
- Are there any new smart gadgets (lamps, sockets, cameras) that you might have forgotten?
If the address is definitely someone else's:
- Block it through
MAC Filteringin the router. - Change your Wi-Fi password to a more complex one.
- Enable encryption
WPA3(if supported).
Why aren't all devices displayed in the router's web interface?
Possible reasons:
- The device is connected via cable (
Ethernet), and you are only looking at the sectionWireless Clients. - The gadget is in sleep mode and is not active on the network.
- The router does not support display of some types of devices (for example, IoT- devices with non-standard protocols).
Try updating your router firmware or use alternative methods (for example, Advanced IP Scanner).
Is it possible to find out which websites connected devices visit?
Yes, but for this you need:
- Install alternative firmware on the router (for example, DD-WRT or OpenWRT), if it is supported by your model.
- Use traffic monitoring programs (for example, Wireshark), but this requires networking skills.
- Connect external server with Pi-hole for logging requests.
⚠️ Attention: Reflashing your router may void your warranty and cause instability. For most users, it's easier to use parental controls in the default settings.
How to limit speed for individual devices?
If one of your devices (for example, your child's smartphone or smart TV) is consuming too much data, you can set a limit:
- Log into your router's web interface.
- Find the section
Bandwidth ControlorQoS(Quality of Service). - Add a rule for
MAC addressesorIPdevices, specifying the maximum speed (for example, 5 Mbps).
If there is no such section, try using the application NetCut (For Windows), but it requires administrator rights.
