Wireless Network Watcher is a small utility that scans your wireless network and displays the list of all computers and devices that are currently connected to your network. For every computer or device that is connected to your network, the following information is displayed: IP address, MAC address, the company that manufactured the network card, and optionally the computer name.

Wireless Network Watcher doesn't require any installation process or additional DLL files. In order to start using it, simply extract the executable file (WNetWatcher.exe) from the ZIP file, and run it.

If you want, you can also download WNetWatcher with full install/uninstall support (wnetwatcher_setup.exe), so a shortcut for running the app will be automatically added into your start menu. After running the app, it automatically locates your wireless adapter and scans your network. After a few seconds, you should start to see the list of computers that are currently connected to your network.

If for some reason, WNet Watcher failed to locate and scan your network, you can try to manually choose the correct network adapter, by pressing F9 (Advanced Options) and choosing the right network adapter.
