3. How to identify "friend" and "foe" devices in the list
Even if you see a list of connected gadgets, it's not always clear which ones are yours and which ones are your neighbors' or hackers'. Here's how identify devices:
Method 1: By device name
- 📱 Smartphones and tablets are often displayed with the model (
Samsung-Galaxy-S22,iPad-Pro). - 💻 Laptops can show the network card (
Intel-WiFi-6,Realtek-RTL8821). - 🎮 Game consoles:
PlayStation-5,Xbox-Series-X.
Method 2: By MAC address
Each device has a unique MAC address (For example, 00:1A:2B:3C:4D:5E). To check which device belongs to whom:
- On smartphone:
Settings → About phone → Status → Wi-Fi MAC address. - On Windows: Run the command
ipconfig /alland find the linePhysical address. - On Mac:
System Preferences → Network → Advanced → Ethernet/Wi-Fi.
Method 3: By connection time
If a device appears online at unusual times (for example, at night when everyone is asleep), this is a cause for concern. You can check this in the router's web interface. connection history (chapter Logs or System log).
| Device type | Example of a network name | How to check MAC |
|---|---|---|

- 🔄 You can quickly reboot your router or change your Wi-Fi password.
Flaws:
- 🚫 Not all router models are supported (especially older ones).
- 📊 No detailed information (for example, MAC addresses may be hidden).
⚠️ Attention: In the appendix Dom.ru Sometimes "ghost" devices are displayed—gadgets that have been disconnected for a long time but remain in the cache. To refresh the list, reboot the router using the button. Power or in the web interface.
5. Advanced methods: scanning the network with programs
If your router's web interface is limited or you suspect hidden connections, use special programs for scanning the networkThey show all devices, including those that are not displayed in the standard settings.
Top 3 programs for Windows, macOS, and Android:
- 🖥️ Advanced IP Scanner (Windows) - scans the local network and shows IP, MAC, manufacturer. Download the official version.
- 🍎 LanScan (macOS) - a simple scanner with CSV export. Available in App Store.
- 🤖 Fing (Android/iOS) — a mobile app that analyzes networks and identifies vulnerabilities. A free version is available.
How to use Advanced IP Scanner:
- Download and install the program.
- Start scanning (button
Scan). - In 1-2 minutes you will receive a list of all devices on the network indicating:
- 🔹 IP addresses;
- 🔹 MAC addresses;
- 🔹 Network card manufacturer;
- 🔹 Open ports (may indicate vulnerabilities).
Important: Programs like Fing can detect devices masquerading as legitimate (for example, by spoofing their MAC address). If you see two devices with the same MAC address on the network, this is a sign of a spoofing attack.
How to block a device by MAC address in a router Dom.ru
1. Log into your router's web interface (see section 2).
2. Go to Wi-Fi → MAC Address Filtering (or Wireless → MAC Filtering).
3. Add the MAC address of the unwanted device to the blacklist.
4. Save the settings and reboot the router.
Please note: some smart devices (such as robot vacuum cleaners) may change their MAC address each time they connect. In this case, it's best to change your Wi-Fi password.
6. What to do if a suspicious device is found
Found an unfamiliar gadget online? Follow these steps:
- Check yours: Make sure it's not a new device from a family member (such as a smartwatch or fitness tracker).
- Block the connection:
- Via the router's web interface (section
MAC Filtering). - Via the app Dom.ru (if there is a locking function).
- Via the router's web interface (section
Go to Wi-Fi → Security and set a new password (we recommend using WPA3(if your router supports it). The password must be at least 12 characters long and include letters, numbers, and special characters.
In the Wi-Fi settings, disable the option Broadcast network name (SSID)This won't protect you from experienced hackers, but it will reduce the number of accidental connections.
Outdated software contains vulnerabilities. In the web interface, find the section System → Firmware Update.
If a suspicious device reappears after being blocked:
- 🔄 Reset your router to factory settings (button
Reseton the back panel). - 🛡️ Set up a separate guest Wi-Fi for smart devices (in the router settings).
- 📞 Contact support Dom.ru - Your router may be compromised (support phone number:
8 800 333-70-00).
- Password leaks (for example, you gave it to guests and forgot to change it).
- Router vulnerabilities (old firmware or weak admin panel password).
- Attacks from the outside (for example, via WPS or exploit in the router software).
In such cases, a complete reset of the settings and setting up the network from scratch is recommended.-->
7. How to protect Wi-Fi from unwanted connections
The best way to avoid problems is set up network protection in advanceHere are the key measures:
1. Set a strong Wi-Fi password
- ❌ Do not use:
12345678,qwerty,password. - ✅ Good example:
k7#pL9!vR2$mN4(12+ characters, different cases, special characters).
2. Disable WPS
Technology WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) is vulnerable to brute-force attacks. In your router settings, find the section WPS and deactivate it.
3. Configure MAC address filtering
Allow connections only for known devices (see section 5). Disadvantage: You'll have to manually add each new device.
4. Enable the guest network
Create a separate Wi-Fi network for guests with limited access to your local network. In your router settings:
- Go to
Wi-Fi → Guest Network. - Set a different SSID (eg.
Guest_WiFi). - Limit your speed and disable access to other devices on the network.
5. Check the device list regularly
Do this once every 1-2 weeks via the web interface or app. Pay attention to:
- 🕵️ Unknown device names;
- 🕒 Connections at unusual times;
- 📥 Disproportionately high traffic (may indicate torrents or a DDoS attack).
| Vulnerability | Risk | How to protect yourself |
|---|---|---|
| Weak Wi-Fi password | Password recovery in a few minutes | Use WPA3 + password 12+ characters |
| WPS enabled | Brute-force PIN code in 4-10 hours | Disable WPS in your router settings. |
| Outdated firmware | Remote Access Exploits | Update your router software every 3-6 months |
| Open ports | Hacking through vulnerabilities (e.g. Telnet) | Close unnecessary ports in Firewall |
FAQ: Frequently asked questions about connected devices
Is it possible to see devices connected via cable (LAN)?
Yes, in the router's web interface in the section DHCP Clients or LAN All devices are displayed, including wired ones. They are usually labeled as Ethernet or have a connection type Wired.
Why does the device list show "Unknown" or a blank name?
This means the device isn't broadcasting its host name. This most often happens with:
- Smart devices (lamps, sockets, cameras);
- Old gadgets with outdated software;
- Hacked devices (hackers).
To identify such a device, compare its MAC address with the list of your gadgets.
How do I find out which device is consuming the most traffic?
In most routers Dom.ru there is a section Traffic statistics or Bandwidth ControlThere you can see:
- Download/upload speed for each device;
- Total volume of traffic consumed;
- Priority applications (e.g. torrents, YouTube).
If there is no such section, use programs like GlassWire (Windows) or Network Analyzer (Android).
Is it possible to track the physical location of a connected device?
No, a router can't determine a device's exact location on the network. However, you can:
- Estimate the distance roughly based on the signal level (in
dBm— the lower the value, the further away the device); - Use specialized software (for example, WiFi Analyzer) to find the direction to the signal source.
To determine the exact location, additional tools are needed (for example, triangulation through several access points).
What to do if the router Dom.ru blocked and won't let you access settings?
Possible causes and solutions:
- Forgot your password: Reset the router using the button
Reset(Hold for 10-15 seconds). The default login/password is indicated on the sticker. - IP address is not opening: Check your connection to your router (Wi-Fi or cable). Try a different browser or device.
- The provider has blocked access: Contact support Dom.ru - Some rented routers have limitations.
