Default SIMPLE network monitoring tool

I have used the ATT flavor of McAfee software for years. Lately the
those computers connected to the lan wirelessly can not detect the network.

Is there a SIMPLE piece of software that will allow me to tell what
devices are using my local area network.

Your router will give you the list of devices connected to your router.Â*
Look for ARP list or configuration tab in your router.

I don't know the answer, but it is a good question, worth the combined
effort of the group to arrive at a better answer, where let's hope someone
_already_ uses a good free network scanner they can recommend for us.

On Android, I have a ton of network tools, some of which "might" have
Windows equivalents...
https://i.postimg.cc/mrZdzpXs/network02.jpg

Looking at Android and seeing if any of those apps are on Windows, I found:
o Fing
https://www.fing.com/products
o Metageek inSSIDer
https://www.metageek.com/products/inssider/
o Nmap
https://nmap.org/
etc.

Personally, I don't need this information on Windows, but my router will
tell me that information. Looking now, I see my router provides a table
organized by wired & then not wired, and then by MAC address & IP Address,
both of which are incomplete tables.

Of course, MAC addresses have a first half that tells you the manufacturer
if you're lucky, but overall, I find that information less helpful than you
would likely want it to be.

Googling a bit, there's also
o WiFiHistoryView by Nirsoft
https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/wifi_information_view.html
o NetSurveyor
http://nutsaboutnets.com/archives/netsurveyor-wifi-scanner/
o ZenMap
https://nmap.org/zenmap/
o NetCrunch
https://www.adremsoft.com/netcrunch.tools/
o Angry IP Scanner
https://angryip.org/
o Simple IP Config
https://github.com/KurtisLiggett/Simple-IP-Config
o HoverDesk
http://www.hoverdesk.net/
o sn0int
https://github.com/kpcyrd/sn0int
o Masscan
https://github.com/robertdavidgraham/masscan
o eToolz
https://www.gaijin.at/en/software/etoolz
o WakeMeOnLan from NirSoft
https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/wake_on_lan.html
o IP Address Tracker
https://www.solarwinds.com/free-tools/ip-address-tracker
o WinMTR
https://sourceforge.net/projects/winmtr/
o Advanced Port Scanner
https://www.advanced-port-scanner.com/
o DipIPsoft
https://www.dipisoft.com/articles.php?lng=fr&pg=2116&mnuid=2211&tconfig=0
o Cisco FindIT Network Discovery Utility
https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/cloud-systems-management/findit-network-discovery-utility/model.html
o SoftPerfect Network Scanner
https://www.softperfect.com/products/networkscanner/
o Advanced IP Scanner
https://www.advanced-ip-scanner.com/

And lots more at:
https://alternativeto.net/software/fing/?platform=windows

Maybe one of those will be used by the cc list who can advise us?

A question would be, whether the tool would do a 100% job or not.

*******

If you know the model number of your router, maybe you can
find some info about accessing it.

So, what is the "LAN"? Would that be a router or cable modem or
something else? What is the wireless device you are calling the LAN?
If a router, or a cable modem which has an inbuilt router, you can use
the web UI to it to log into it and check which devices are connected
(and it might list devices that are currently not connected but were in
the past).

Fing, an app for a smartphone.
