How To Monitor And Manage Connected Users On Your Hotspot

If you’re in the habit of leaving your Wifi hotspot enabled and open to connections from friends, family and or even colleagues, chances are, your hotspot would attract some of the bad guys too. Now, no need to panic if you already did. There’s a way to keep everything under control.

With any wifi analyzer you can get from the Google Play Store, you will be able to manage your hotspot, view detailed information of connected devices and block unwanted users – or so I thought at first!

However, my hopes of getting a wifi analyzer that could do exactly what I wanted without crashing every two or three minutes began diminishing after a few of searching and testing several apps until I finally came across this one dubbed Wifi Analyzer- Home Wifi Alert. It  just works!

With the app, I could finally block my younger bro’s Play Station (hehe) once he came online outside his free time. I could finally see the usage of data by my friends’ connected devices and block them off once they cross their boundaries. In fact, the app did just what I wanted.

Now, here are the key features of Wifi Analyzer- Home Wifi Alert:

• Network Analyzer:

– Displays IP addresses, MAC addresses, display names, access point you are connected to, and allows you to customize images/icons and edit display names.

• Wifi Strength:

-Wifi tester that shows Wifi signal strength! Also, shows you if you are connected to your internet and displays your routers public IP.

-Displays all router Access Points in range to you, what their MAC address are, channel they are using, and their db signal strength.
