Find out who's been stealing your Wi-Fi with this guide.
The first thing you have to do is make sure you're connected to the Wi-Fi network you want to monitor. Next, download the network monitoring app Fing, from the link below.
Once you've downloaded the app, open it, and you will see the name of your network on the home screen, along with theRefresh and Settings buttons. To see all the devices connected to your Wi-Fi network, tap Refresh. You will then see a list of devices, along with an indicator that tells you if it's a smartphone or PC.
Tap any device on your network to bring up a list of options for interacting with that device. These include sending pings or Wake on LAN signals, and you can even log when those devices connect and disconnect from the network.
Tap a device in the list (left) and you can copy its MAC address to block it.
How to block trespassing devices
