[SOLVED] WiFi Scanning

[trickyrick]

Looking for something that will work in Windows that will scan the network and report that a particular IP or mac address has logged onto the network. Or to do the same with a Raspberry Pi
Thanks

Your router should have a log of what devices have connected to it recently.

yup but I can't use that for say a push notification when my cell connects

There are a number of free network monitoring tools

From that list, SpiceWorks can almost certainly do this notification thing.

Thanks for the info. I found another one (PRTG Network Monitor) I have found that when the cell goes to sleep it drops off the network. I wanted to use this as a proximity detector to use in Webcore to turn on lights. This will not work
But Thanks

If the phone drops WIFI when it goes to sleep that is probably a setting in the phone.
