There you should see any devices connected to the WiFi network. How to enter the page router admin? We can see account information administrator through the manual provided in the box of the router. Use the account to access the page router admin.

There are several application options to see what devices are connected to WiFi. Usually manufacturer router have their own application. As Netgear's Genie, Linkys Connect, or Apple's AirPort, etc. 3. Make a List of Who's Using WiFi
After we finish identifying all the connected devices, then the next step is to make a list of what devices are accessing our network. Next is to analyze whether something suspicious is happening on the network.Should router have access to a list of connected devices along with information such as device name, MAC Address and its IP address. Record all connected devices and identify if any are suspicious or not.
If you are confused about identifying the name and type of device, we can first turn off all connected devices, then we will know which devices are still on. If there are still foreign devices that sleep then we need to check whether the device is trying to slow down our network or doing other dangerous activities.

However, if you are not sure about this, then you can try changing the WiFi network password. That way, foreign devices will be automatically disconnected from our WiFI network. Therefore, we must regularly check the WiFi network and change the password as soon as possible if there is anything suspicious.

After making sure that there are no foreign devices connected to our WiFi but the connection is still slow, it means that there is another problem. We have to test internet speed using cable and WiFi. If the speed of using the cable is faster, it means that there is a problem with the cable router. However, before deciding to replace router, we need to realize that the slow connection is not solely because router damaged. For example we need to re-evaluate whether the layout router already ideal.
We can also check if we have used the function dual band on router. Some other options are that we can add an antenna to add better signal quality. If the connection is still slow maybe we should contact the internet provider to see if there is a problem with the network.
