Have you noticed that your internet has become slower than usual, or do you suspect that your network is Sagemcom Have outsiders joined in? In this article you will find 5 proven methods Find out which devices are using your Wi-Fi—from standard router tools to specialized apps. We'll cover not only how to view a list of connected devices, but also how filter out other people's devices and protect the network from unauthorized access.
Routers Sagemcom (especially popular models Sagemcom F@st 2804, 3804, 5364 and others) are often supplied by providers like Rostelecom, Dom.ru, or MTS. Their web interface may differ depending on the firmware version, but the general principles for checking connections remain the same. If you've never accessed your router settings before, don't worry: we'll explain every step in detail, including Login to the admin panel and decoding of technical terms.
Important: Some methods require administrator rights (router login and password), which are often found on a sticker on the back of the device. If you haven't changed them, use the default data—usually admin/admin or user/userBut what if you've lost your password? This is covered in one of the sections below.
1. Checking via the Sagemcom router web interface
The most reliable and accurate way is to log in router control panel via a browser. No additional software is required, and the data is updated in real time. Here's how:
- Connect to the network router via Wi-Fi or cable. Make sure your device (laptop, smartphone) is receiving internet from Sagemcom.
- Open any browser (Chrome, Firefox, Edge) and enter it in the address bar
192.168.1.1or192.168.0.1If none of the addresses work, check the correct IP address on the router's sticker. - Enter your username and password (the default ones are on the sticker). If the information doesn't work, your provider may have changed it—contact technical support.
Once logged in, you'll need to find the section with connected devices. Depending on the model, Sagemcom the path may differ:
- 🔹
LAN → DHCP Clients(the most common option) - 🔹
Network → Local Network → Connected Devices - 🔹
Status → Device Info → Wireless Clients(for wireless connections)
In the table you will see:
| Field | What does it mean? | Example of meaning |
|---|---|---|
Host Name |
Device name (if configured) | iPhone-12-Pro, DESKTOP-ABC123 |
MAC Address |
Unique physical address of the device | 00:1A:2B:3C:4D:5E |
IP Address |
Local IP assigned by the router | 192.168.1.105 |
Connection Type |
Connection type (Wi-Fi or cable) | Wireless, Ethernet |
If there are any unknown devices in the list, write them down. MAC addresses — they will be needed for blocking. Please note: some routers Sagemcom Shows only active connections, not all registered devices. To see the full list, you may need to reboot your router.
⚠️ Attention: If there is no section with connected devices in the web interface, your model may be Sagemcom is using outdated firmware. Update it via Management → Firmware Upgrade or contact your provider.
2. Using the provider's mobile application
Many Internet providers (Rostelecom, Dom.ru, MTS) offer official applications for managing your router. They're often more convenient than the web interface and allow you to check connected devices in just two clicks. Let's look at some popular apps:
- 📱 Rostelecom — Personal Account: "My Devices" → "Connected Gadgets." All devices are displayed here, including those connected via cable.
- 📱 Dom.ru — My Dom.ru: Wi-Fi tab → Device list. The app allows you to not only watch, but also block unknown devices.
- 📱 MTS — My MTS: "Services" → "Internet" → "My Wi-Fi Network." Here you'll find the "Device Management" option.
Advantages of mobile applications:
- 🔹 No need to remember your router's IP address—the app connects automatically.
- 🔹 Notifications about new connections (in some versions).
- 🔹 Opportunity remote control (if the router supports cloud access).
However, there are also some downsides: not all providers offer such apps, and the functionality may be limited compared to the web interface. For example, you can't see the Dom.ru app. MAC addresses devices - only their names, which complicates identification.
3. Viewing via the command line (Windows, macOS, Linux)
If you don't have access to your router's settings but you are connected to its network, you can use command line To scan your local network, this method will show all active devices but won't provide information about those connected via Wi-Fi (only those that respond to ping).
For Windows:
- Click
Win + R, entercmdand press Enter. - Enter the command:
arp -aIt will show a table of IP and MAC addresses mapping.
- For more detailed information, use:
for /L %i in (1,1,254) do ping -n 1 192.168.1.%i(replace
192.168.1.to your subnet, if it is different).
For macOS/Linux:
- Open
Terminal. - Enter:
nmap -sn 192.168.1.0/24(install nmap through
brew install nmaporsudo apt install nmap, if it is not there).
The results will look something like this:
Nmap scan report for 192.168.1.101
Host is up (0.045s latency).
MAC Address: 00:1A:2B:3C:4D:5E (Apple)
This method won't show devices that don't respond to ping (for example, smartphones in sleep mode), but it will help identify active connections. For a more in-depth analysis, use the program Wireshark or Advanced IP Scanner.
⚠️ Attention: Network scanning can be considered suspicious activity on corporate networks. While it's safe to do at home, don't overdo it with frequent requests—some routers may block your IP address.
4. Third-party Wi-Fi monitoring programs
If standard methods do not suit you, you can use specialized utilitiesThey offer advanced features: connection history tracking, notifications about new devices, and even blocking unwanted gadgets. Here are the top 3 programs:
| Program | Platform | Peculiarities | Link (official) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wireless Network Watcher | Windows | Scans the network, displays the MAC address, IP address, and device manufacturer. Free. | nirsoft.net |
| Fing | Windows, macOS, Android, iOS | Shows all devices, tests speed, detects vulnerabilities. | fing.com |
| Who Is On My WiFi | Windows | Monitors the network in real time and sends alerts about new connections. | whoisonmywifi.com |
Example of working with Wireless Network Watcher:
- Download and run the program (no installation required).
- Click “Start Scanning” and a list of devices will appear in a few seconds.
- Opposite each device will be indicated
MAC addressand the manufacturer (for example, Apple, Samsung).
Important: Programs like Fing can show devices connected to your ISP's network, not just your router. To filter them, pay attention to their IP addresses: they must belong to your local network (e.g., 192.168.xx).

5. How to block other people's devices on Sagemcom
If you find any strange gadgets on the network, you need to turn off And blockThis can be done in two ways: through MAC filtering or changing your Wi-Fi password. Let's consider both options.
Method 1: MAC Address Filtering
- Go to the router's web interface (
192.168.1.1). - Go to
Wireless → MAC Filtering(orSecurity → Access Control). - Activate filtering and add to blacklist
MAC addressesunknown devices. - Save the settings and reboot the router.
Method 2: Change your Wi-Fi password
- In the router control panel, find
Wireless → Security. - In the field
Pre-Shared Key(orPassword) enter a new password (we recommend using at least 12 characters with numbers and special characters). - Select encryption type
WPA2-PSK(orWPA3, if supported). - Save the changes - all devices will be disconnected and will need to reconnect.
After blocking, check the list of connected devices again. If the unknown device disappears, the problem is solved. If not, it may be connected via a cable or using another bypass method (for example, WPS). In this case, we recommend disable WPS in the router settings (Wireless → WPS → Disable).
6. Additional security measures for Sagemcom
To minimize the risk of unauthorized access in the future, follow these guidelines:
- 🔒 Disable remote control of your router: In the settings (
Management → Remote Access) deactivate the option if it is enabled. - 🔄 Update firmware: Outdated software versions contain vulnerabilities. Check for updates in
Management → Firmware Upgrade. - 📡 Hide network name (SSID): IN
Wireless → Basicdisable the optionBroadcast SSIDThis won't make the network completely invisible, but it will reduce the number of accidental connections. - ⏱️ Set up a Wi-Fi schedule: If you only need the Internet during certain hours, limit access by time.
Wireless → Schedule.
It's also worth checking if your router is using vulnerable default settingsFor example, some models Sagemcom have a standard administrator password admin, which is easy to guess. Change it to a complex one (at least 10 characters) in the section Management → Access Control.
If you suspect that your router has been hacked (for example, the settings are resetting themselves or unknown port rules are appearing), do the following: factory resetTo do this:
- Press and hold the button
Reseton the back panel of the router (10–15 seconds). - After rebooting, configure the router again using the information from the sticker.
⚠️ Attention: Router interface Sagemcom This may vary depending on your provider's firmware. If you don't see these sections, consult your internet provider's instructions or contact technical support.
7. Common mistakes and their solutions
Users often encounter problems when checking connected devices. Let's look at the most common ones:
- 🚫 I can't access my router settings:
- Please check if you are entering the correct IP address (try
192.168.0.1or192.168.8.1). - Make sure you are connected to the router's network (not via mobile Internet).
- Reset the router using the button
Reset, if you forgot your password.
- Please check if you are entering the correct IP address (try
- 🔍 The device list is empty:
- Reboot your router and refresh the page.
- Check if the DHCP server is enabled (
LAN → DHCP Server).
- 📱 The phone number is not displayed in the list:
- Make sure your phone's Wi-Fi is turned on and connected to your network.
- Some devices (eg with iOS) may not show their name - look at the MAC address.
If the router returns an error like 404 Not Found When logging into the control panel, your provider may have changed the default address. In this case:
- Open
Command lineand enter:ipconfig(For macOS/Linux —
ifconfig). - Find the line
Default Gateway- this is the current IP of your router.
What to do if your router is blocked by your ISP?
Some providers (for example, Rostelecom) block access to advanced router settings. In this case, you'll need to:
1. Call support and ask to unblock access (sometimes this is a paid option).
2. Reflash the router to alternative firmware (for example, OpenWRT), but this will void the warranty and may disrupt the operation of the provider's services (IPTV, telephone).
3. Buy your own router and configure it in bridge mode, connecting it to the provider's equipment.
FAQ: Frequently asked questions about connections to Sagemcom
Is it possible to find out which websites connected devices visit?
No, a router. Sagemcom It doesn't keep a log of visited websites (unless you have a corporate model with the appropriate settings). For this, you need specialized programs like Wireshark or setting up a proxy server, but this requires in-depth knowledge of networks and may violate privacy laws.
How can I distinguish my device from someone else's in the connection list?
Compare MAC addresses:
- On Windows: open
Command lineand enteripconfig /all— find the linePhysical Address. - On Android: go to
Settings → About phone → General information → Wi-Fi MAC address. - On iPhone:
Settings → General → About → Wi-Fi Address.
If the MAC address matches the one listed on the router, it is your device.
What should I do if a device named "Unknown" or "Media" appears on the network?
This could be:
- A smart device (such as a TV) LG or column Amazon Echo, which do not always convey their name).
- Guest device, if you gave access to friends.
- A hacked gadget or a neighbor's router if your network is unsecured.
Check it out MAC address through a search engine (for example, enter the first 6 characters in Google — this is the manufacturer). If the device is unknown, block it.
Is it possible to see connected devices without access to the router?
Yes, but with restrictions:
- Using programs like Fing or Advanced IP Scanner (will show only active devices).
- Through
command line(as described in section 3), but this will not provide information about Wi-Fi clients. - If you have Android- smartphone with root rights, can be used NetCut or WiFi Kill, but it is illegal in some countries.
Without access to the router, you won't see the full list and won't be able to block devices.
Why do some devices remain connected after changing the Wi-Fi password?
This is possible if:
- The device is connected via cable (Ethernet), not over Wi-Fi.
- It's turned on in the router
WPS(turn it off in settings!). - The password was changed incorrectly (check if the settings were saved).
- The device uses guest network, if it is configured separately.
Reboot your router after changing the password for the changes to take effect.
