How to see who's connected to your Dom.ru Wi-Fi router: 3 working methods

• 📡 DHCP → DHCP Clients (shows devices with assigned IP).
• 📡 Wireless Network → Wireless Client Statistics.
• 📡 Local Area Network → ARP Table (shows all devices, including wired ones).

In the table you will see:

Field	What does it mean?	Example of meaning
Host Name	Device name (if passed)	iPhone-12-Pro, DESKTOP-5VG7T9L
MAC Address	Unique device identifier	00:1A:2B:3C:4D:5E
IP Address	Local IP on your network	192.168.0.103
Lease Time	IP lease time (when it expires, the device will request a new one)	23:45:12

Determine the manufacturer by MAC (first 3 pairs of characters) using the service MAC Vendors|

Check if it is connected via cable (check the physical ports on the router)|

Block the MAC address in your router settings (Wireless Network → MAC Filter)|

Change your Wi-Fi password to a more complex one (at least 12 characters with numbers and special characters)

-->

Method 3: Dom.ru mobile app

For convenience Dom.ru developed an official app that allows you to manage services, including monitoring connected devices. Its functionality is limited compared to the router's web interface, but it's sufficient for basic checking.

How to use:

1. Download the app My Dom.ru from App Store or Google Play.
2. Log in using the same login as in your personal account.
3. Go to the section Internet → My Devices.
4. Click on an unknown device to see details (MAC, IP, connection time).

You can do it right away in the app disconnect the device from the network (the "Block" button), but this feature doesn't work on all router models. If this option is unavailable, block it through the web interface, as described in Method 2.

How to identify "foreign" devices in the list

Even if the list shows 10-15 devices, not all of them may be malicious. Here's how to distinguish your gadgets from those of others:

• 📱 Smartphones/tablets: usually have names like iPhone Name, Samsung-Galaxy-S21 or Xiaomi-Redmi-Note-10Check the Wi-Fi settings on your devices—the current network is displayed there.
• 💻 Laptops/PCs: names often contain a pattern or random set of characters (eg DESKTOP-ABC123 for Windows). On a computer, the name can be viewed in Control Panel → System.
• 🎮 Smart devices: TVs (LG WebOS, Samsung Tizen), prefixes (Xbox, PlayStation), columns (Yandex Station, Amazon Echo) usually have brand names.
• ⚠️ Suspicious signs:
  • Unidentified devices with names like android-123456 or unknown.
  • MAC addresses with prefixes 00:0C:29 (VMware), 00:1C:14 (Microsoft) - can belong to virtual machines.
  • Devices that consume abnormally large amounts of traffic (checked in Traffic statistics router).
What should I do if a repeater router is detected on my network?

Repeaters (eg TP-Link RE605X) appear in the list as separate devices with their own MAC address. They can be distinguished by:

1. The model name in Host Name (For example, TP-Link_Extender_5GHz).

2. Stable connection (does not disconnect for hours).

3. Low traffic consumption (if nothing is connected to the repeater).

If the repeater is yours, you don't need to do anything. If it's someone else's, block its MAC address.

Blocking unwanted devices

Found a strange device online? Here's how to disable it permanently:

1. Via MAC address filter:
   1. In the router's web interface, go to Wireless Network → MAC Filter.
   2. Add the MAC address of the suspicious device to the blacklist.
   3. Save the settings and reboot the router.
2. Changing your Wi-Fi password:
   1. Go to Wireless Network → Security Settings.
   2. Select encryption type WPA2-PSK (or WPA3, if supported).
   3. Create a new password (example: DomRu_2026!Kot@Moskva).
   4. Save the changes - all devices will disconnect and require you to re-enter the password.
3. Disabling WPS:

   Function WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) is vulnerable to brute-force attacks. Disable it. Wireless Network → WPS.

⚠️ Attention: If the device continues to connect to the network after blocking the MAC address, it's possible the attacker is spoofing the MAC address. In this case, the only solution is to change the Wi-Fi password and turn it on. hiding SSID (although this reduces the convenience of connecting new gadgets).

Additional security measures

To minimize the risk of unauthorized connection, follow these steps:

• 🔄 Update your router firmware regularly. On the menu System Tools → Software Update Check if the version is up to date.
• 🛡️ Enable guest network. For friends and temporary guests, create a separate network with limited access to local resources (setting in Wireless Network → Guest Network).
• 📡 Set a time limit. In some routers (for example, Keenetic) You can set a Wi-Fi schedule so that the network turns off at night.
• 🔍 Use traffic analytics. Programs like Wireshark or GlassWire will help identify suspicious activity.

Common mistakes and their solutions

When checking devices, users encounter typical problems. Let's look at the most common ones:

Problem	Cause	Solution
Devices are not displayed in the Dom.ru personal account	The service is temporarily unavailable or the router is not synchronized with the account.	Check your internet connection. If the problem persists, use the router's web interface.
I can't access my router settings (the password doesn't work)	The password has been changed or reset to factory defaults.	Do a reset with the button Reset, then use the standard login/password (see Method 2)
There are many unknown devices with the same MAC in the list.	This could be a virtual machine or a DHCP error.	Check MAC prefix (first 3 bytes) via MAC Vendors
After blocking MAC the device appears again	The attacker uses MAC spoofing	Change your Wi-Fi password and enable SSID hiding

⚠️ Attention: If you rent a router from Dom.ru, some features (such as firmware updates) may be blocked. In this case, please contact your provider's support team by phone. 8 800 333-70-00.

FAQ: Answers to Frequently Asked Questions

Is it possible to see what websites connected devices are visiting?

Yes, but you need to configure it for this traffic redirection to the analysis server (for example, Pi-hole) or use specialized routers with support DNS logs (For example, Keenetic (with the "Monitoring" component). This feature is not available in standard Dom.ru routers.

How can I check if my neighbor is stealing my Wi-Fi if he has the same network?

If the neighbor has a network with the same name (SSID), your devices may automatically connect to their router if the signal is stronger. To avoid this:

1. Set a unique network name (eg. Ivanov_WiFi_5GHz).
2. In the Wi-Fi settings on your gadgets, delete all saved networks with similar names.
3. Use the app WiFi Analyzer (Android) or NetSpot (iOS) to check the signal strength of your and your neighbors' network.

What should I do if a device with a Chinese MAC address appears on the network?

MAC addresses with prefixes 78:31:C1 (Xiaomi), 50:65:83 (TP-Link) or 28:CF:DA (Apple) doesn't necessarily mean jailbreak. It could be:

• Your smart devices (lamps, sockets, cameras).
• Guests who have connected previously (MAC is saved in the ARP table until the router is rebooted).
• Own gadgets with a modified MAC (some anonymity applications do this).

Check if any guests have connected to your network and compare the MAC address with your list of devices.

Is it possible to limit the speed for individual devices?

Yes, most Dom.ru routers have this function. QoS (Quality of Service) or Bandwidth controlFor example, in Sagemcom F@st 5364:

1. Go to Additional settings → QoS.
2. Add a rule for the device's MAC address.
3. Set a speed limit (e.g. 5 Mbps).

The limitation only works for downloading; it has little effect on uploading.

Why does "Unnamed" appear in the device list with a MAC address?

This could be:

• Device with disabled transmission function Hostname (for example, some smart bulbs).
• A gadget that was previously connected but is now disconnected (MAC remains in the DHCP cache).
• An attacker hiding the device name (rare, but possible).

To accurately identify such a device, check its activity in the section Traffic statistics or temporarily turn off all your gadgets - if "Unnamed" remains, it's a third-party device.
