Who Is On My WiFi For Mac

Keeping a close eye on who is connected to your network is extremely important since criminals can make use of your internet connection for illegal activities, or can get their hands on your private information.

Who Is On My WiFi is a small but powerful app that scans your network periodically and sends an alert whenever an unknown device is detected. The utility runs in the background, so not much user interaction is required.

The first time you launch the application you must decide if you want to scan the network only once, or if you want Who Is On My WiFi to perform periodical checks. Selecting the latter is highly recommended: this way you will have a clean view upon your network at all time.

After the initial scan, most connected devices have the unknown status assigned: attach an easy recognizable name to each workstation, and manually change the status to “known” (you can identify them by IP or MAC address). As a result, when a new device connects, you will be able to identify it immediately.

Who Is On My WiFi offers a simple solution to a serious problem: the app allows you to map all the known devices in your network, which makes unauthorized connections easily identifiable.

By default Who Is On My WiFi analyzes your network every 5 minutes, but you can easily adjust the scanning frequency, going from 2 to 60 minutes. However, the app can take up to 8% of your CPU power while scanning, so you do not want to trigger the process too often.

Last but not least, keep in mind that the Who Is On My WiFi desktop application will not connect to your Who Is On My WiFi Online account.
