How to find out who's connected to my Wi-Fi router via a Dom.ru phone: full instructions (2026)

Have you noticed your internet has slowed down, even though your plan hasn't changed? Or do you suspect your neighbors are hogging your data? Dom.ru Wi-Fi routerIn 2026, you can check the list of connected devices directly from your phone—without a computer or complicated setup. This article will help you figure out how to identify "outsiders" on your network, even if you've never accessed your router's settings.

We will consider official methods through the Dom.ru application, alternative methods for Android And iPhoneWe'll also explain how to distinguish legitimate devices from fake ones. Important: Some features may vary depending on the router model (e.g., Sagemcom F@st 5364 or Huawei HG8245H) and firmware versions. If your router issued Dom.ru — the instructions will fit 100%.

A word of warning: if you discover unfamiliar devices, don't rush to block them immediately. These could be devices belonging to guests who have connected previously, or smart devices (e.g., robot vacuum cleaner or IP camera), which you forgot to set up. But if strangers actually end up on the network, we'll show you how to disable it permanently without the risk of breaking the router.

1. Check through the official Dom.ru app

The most reliable and easiest way is to use your provider's mobile app. It automatically detects your router model and displays an up-to-date list of devices. You can download it for free:

• 📱 Android: Google Play (rating 4.3)
• 🍎 iOS: App Store (rating 4.5)

After installation, follow these steps:

1. Open the app and log in using your username/password from your personal account. Dom.ru.
2. Go to the section Services → Internet → My Devices (the name may differ slightly).
3. Click on the tab Connected devices or Wi-Fi network.
4. The system will display a list of all gadgets indicating:
   • 🔹 Device name (if it is configured, for example, iPhone-12-Pro-Max)
   • 🔹 MAC addresses (unique identifier, for example 00:1A:2B:3C:4D:5E)
   • 🔹 IP addresses (internal, for example 192.168.1.102)
   • 🔹 Connection type (Wi-Fi or cable)

If there are any unfamiliar devices in the list, please pay attention to manufacturer (displayed by the first characters of the MAC address). For example, 5C:F9:DD - This Apple, 78:31:C1 — Xiaomi, A 00:0E:35 — SiemensThe full list of vendors can be found on the website. MAC Vendors.

Determine if this is your device (check by name or MAC)

Compare the connection time (if the device is active at night, this is suspicious)

Try disabling it temporarily and check your internet speed.

If your suspicions are confirmed, block the MAC address in your router settings.

⚠️ Attention: In some versions of the Dom.ru app, the device list may take up to 5 minutes to update. If you've just connected a new device, please wait or refresh the page manually.

2. Alternative methods for Android: scanner apps

If the official app doesn't show a full list or is unstable, you can use third-party utilities. They scan the local network and identify all active devices. The best options for Android:

Instructions for Fing (the simplest option):

1. Install and open the application.
2. Click Scan — the program will automatically detect your network.
3. After 10-30 seconds, a list of devices with detailed information will appear.
4. Click on any device to see it MAC address, manufacturer And open ports.

If the application shows a device with the name unknown or generic, this is a reason to be wary. Also pay attention to response time (ping): if it is too high (more than 500 ms), the device may be connected via a repeater or located far from the router (for example, in a neighboring apartment).

3. Checking via the router's web interface (for experienced users)

If you prefer to work through a browser, you can access your router settings directly. This method is universal and works even without apps. You'll need:

• 📶 Connect to your router's Wi-Fi (or cable)
• 🔑 Login and password (usually found on the router sticker)

Step-by-step instructions:

1. Open the browser on your phone and enter in the address bar 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1 (for routers Dom.ru the first option is used more often).
2. Enter your login and password (usually by default admin/admin or user/user, but it’s better to check on the sticker).
3. Go to the section Wi-Fi → Connected devices (the name may differ, for example, DHCP Clients or Hosts List).
4. Review the list. It will include:
   • 🔹 IP address devices
   • 🔹 MAC address
   • 🔹 Host name (if assigned)
   • 🔹 Connection time

In routers Sagemcom (often issued Dom.ru) the path may look like this: Advanced Setup → LAN → DHCP Table.

⚠️ Attention: If you've never changed your router's web interface password, do so immediately! By default, many models are vulnerable to hacking using standard combinations. admin:admin.

How to reset your password if you forgot it?

If you don't remember your login details, click the button Reset on the back of the router (hold for 10-15 seconds). After the reset, use the default login and password from the sticker. All network settings will be reset, so be prepared to set up your Wi-Fi again.

4. How to distinguish your device from someone else's

Even if you see unfamiliar names on your connected gadgets list, don't rush to block them. Here's how to determine whether a device is yours:

• 📱 Check your gadgets: Disconnect all your devices one by one (phone, laptop, tablet) and see which one disappears. The remaining ones are potentially someone else's.
• 🕒 Connection time: If the device is active at night, when you are sleeping, or in your absence, this is suspicious.
• 📊 Traffic consumption: In some routers (for example, Keenetic) you can see how much data each device is consuming. If an unfamiliar gadget is consuming gigabytes, it's a clear sign of a thief.
• 🔍 MAC address: Compare the first 6 characters with the manufacturer database. For example, B8:27:EB - This Raspberry Pi, A 3C:5A:B4 — Google (May be Chromecast or Nest).

Pay special attention to devices with names like: android-123456789, desktop-pc, user-PC - These are typical names that are assigned by default and may belong to neighbors.

If you find a suspicious device but you're not sure, try temporarily disable it (most routers have a button Block or Disconnect) and check if your or your household's internet connection is affected. If everything works, feel free to block it permanently.

5. Blocking Other People's Devices: 3 Reliable Methods

If you've confirmed that there are indeed intruders on your network, it's time to disable them. Here are three proven methods:

Method 1: Blocking by MAC address (the most reliable)

This method works on all routers, including models from Dom.ru:

1. Go to the router's web interface (read how to do this in Section 3).
2. Go to Wi-Fi → MAC Filtering (or Security → MAC Filter).
3. Add the MAC address of someone else's device to the blacklist (Deny).
4. Save the settings and reboot the router.

Method 2: Change your Wi-Fi password

If you're too lazy to figure out MAC addresses, just change your Wi-Fi password:

1. In the router's web interface, find Wi-Fi → Security (or Security).
2. In the field Password (Password) enter a new complex password (at least 12 characters, with numbers and letters).
3. Select encryption type WPA2-PSK (or WPA3, if supported).
4. Save the changes - all devices will be disconnected and will need to reconnect.

Method 3: Hiding the network (SSID)

This doesn't block other people's devices, but it makes your Wi-Fi invisible to new connections:

1. In the Wi-Fi settings, find the option Hide SSID (Hide SSID).
2. Activate it and save the settings.
3. Now your network will not be displayed in the list of available ones, but already connected devices will remain.

⚠️ Attention: Hiding the SSID doesn't protect against experienced hackers—they can find the network using specialized software. This method is best used in conjunction with a strong password.

6. Additional security measures

To minimize the risk of being hacked again, follow these guidelines:

• 🔄 Update your router firmware: In the web interface, find the section System Tools → Firmware Upgrade and check if the version is up-to-date. Outdated firmware often contains vulnerabilities.
• 🛡️ Disable WPS: This feature simplifies the connection, but makes the network vulnerable. In the settings, find WPS and deactivate it.
• 📡 Reduce signal strength: If the router supports power regulation (for example, TP-Link or Asus), reduce it to 50–70%. This will reduce the coverage area and make the network less accessible to neighbors.
• ⏳ Set up a Wi-Fi schedule: Some routers allow you to turn off the network at night (for example, from 00:00 to 6:00) when you sleep.

If your router supports guest networkSet it up for friends and family, and keep your main network private. On the guest network, you can limit speed and access to local devices (such as printers or network drives).

For maximum protection, consider purchasing a router that supports WPA3 (For example, ASUS RT-AX88U or TP-Link Archer AX6000). This encryption protocol is virtually impossible to crack using modern methods.

7. What to do if nothing helps

If, despite all measures, other people's devices continue to appear on your network, it is possible:

• 🔌 Someone connected via cable (for example, through a socket PLC adapter). Check the physical ports of the router.
• 🕵️‍♂️ Your router is infected virus, which opens a backdoor for hackers. In this case, only a hard reset and firmware update will help.
• 🏢 The problem is on the provider's side (for example, Dom.ru (I configured IP distribution incorrectly). Please contact support by phone. 8 800 333-70-00.

In extreme cases, you can:

1. Buy a new router and set it up from scratch (we recommend models with WPA3 And parental control function).
2. Connect the service Secure Wi-Fi at Dom.ru (if available in your region).
3. Use VPN on a router (for example, through OpenVPN), so that all traffic is encrypted.

If you suspect that your traffic is being stolen intentionally (for example, by neighbors or former tenants), it makes sense to file a police report under the article Article 138 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation ("Violation of Correspondence Privacy"). To do this, save screenshots of other people's devices' MAC addresses and connection logs (they can be exported in the router settings).

FAQ: Frequently Asked Questions

Is it possible to find out who exactly is connected to my Wi-Fi (name, address)?

No, you can only determine the MAC address or device name manufacturer (For example, Samsung or Xiaomi). To identify a specific person, you need to contact the police with evidence of unauthorized access. Provider Dom.ru will not disclose the subscriber's personal data at your request.

What to do if there is "unknown" with MAC address in the list of devices?

This could be:

• A smart device (lamps, sockets, vacuum cleaners) that does not broadcast its name.
• Gadget with disabled function Network Discovery (For example, Windows PC in power saving mode).
• Someone else's device with a changed MAC address (rare, but it happens).

Try disabling it temporarily and see if your devices lose internet access. If not, block it.

How to check Wi-Fi for viruses?

Routers rarely get infected with viruses, but if you notice strange behavior (ads in the browser, redirects to other sites), follow these steps:

1. Reset the router to factory settings (button Reset).
2. Update your firmware to the latest version.
3. Change the password for the web interface and Wi-Fi.
4. Check all connected devices with an antivirus (for example, Kaspersky Internet Security or Dr.Web).

Is it possible to limit the speed of other people's devices without blocking them?

Yes, if your router supports it. QoS (Quality of Service)In the settings, find the section Bandwidth Control or QoS and set a limit for unknown MAC addresses. For example, you can limit them to 1 Mbps—that's enough for instant messaging, but not for torrents or streaming.

Why do other people's devices connect again after changing the password?

Possible reasons:

• You have saved your password in the cloud (for example, Google Smart Lock or iCloud Keychain), and it synced on someone else's device.
• You have the feature enabled WPS - it can be hacked in a few minutes.
• Someone physically connected to the router via cable and stole the new password.

Solution: Disable cloud password synchronization, disable WPS, and check the router's physical ports.
