If you don't recognise a device, note its MAC address. You can block it or change your WiFi password to force all devices to re-authenticate.
Frequently Asked Questions
How accurate is the connected devices list?
It shows devices currently connected or recently connected (within the DHCP lease period). Devices that disconnected long ago may not appear.
What if I see a device I don't recognise?
Change your WiFi password immediately. All devices, including the unknown one, will need to reconnect with the new password.
