WNDR3400v2 - identifying devices

 I have several devices connected to my wireless router.  I want to turn off access to one of them during the day, but the names as listed on Genie are just a string of numbers and (.)s.  Please help me to determine how to identify a specific device so that when I change the settings I can be sure I have the correct computer.

 

Thanks!

  • The are a number of methods.  I would just go to the device and make note of its MAC address and current IP address.  That should provide you with all the information you need.

        If you want to see all the devices connected by vendor, device id, MAC address, ip address, use 'advanced ipscan'
