Open Hotspot Mode and tap "Connected"

You need Hotspot Mode on for this to work. If it's not, see that tutorial first.

On the Hotspot dashboard, the Connected stat shows how many devices are using your Wi-Fi right now. Tap it to see the full list.

You can also reach the same screen from Manage → Connected devices below the stats.

How fresh is this data? The list refreshes every 30 seconds while you're looking at it. Pull down on the screen to force a refresh, or tap the lightning icon at the top right.

Read the device list

Each row shows one device. From left to right:

Icon — phone, laptop, TV, router, etc. The app guesses based on the device's name.
Name — what the device tells the network it's called (e.g. iPhone-Daniel, Samsung-A15).
Signal & band — the coloured dot shows signal strength (green = good, yellow = poor, red = weak). Then it says 5 GHz, 2.4 GHz, or Wired.
IP address — like 192.168.1.42. Each device gets a different one.
Link speed — the right side shows how fast the device's link is, in Mbps.

The list is split: Wi-Fi devices first, Wired devices below. Filter chips at the top let you narrow to just one band.

Why are some device names odd? Devices choose their own names. Some show the brand and model (good), others show a hardware ID (less useful). You can rename most devices in their own settings. Smart TVs and IoT often have generic names you can't change.

Watch for the "NEW" tag

The app remembers every device that's ever connected to your Wi-Fi. When something connects for the first time, it gets flagged with a red NEW tag.

If you see a NEW device and you recognise it (e.g. your son's new phone, a guest's laptop), tap the green tick to mark it as known. The flag goes away.

If you don't recognise it — that's a Wi-Fi piggybacker. You have two options:

1. Tap Rotate password to kick everyone off and force them to reconnect with a new password (which the unknown device won't have).
2. Or change your Wi-Fi password manually using the Wi-Fi password tutorial.

Privacy note: the device list is only visible to you, the account owner. We use it to detect piggybackers, not to track which sites people visit. We can't see browsing history through the app — just which devices are connected.
