I’m trying to keep an eye on my kids’ online activity and want to see what devices are connected to our home wifi when I’m not there. Is there a way to do this from my phone?
Yeah totally doable and honestly easier than most people think — most modern routers (Netgear, Asus, TP-Link, etc.) have their own apps that show you connected devices in real time right from your phone, no third-party stuff needed. Just download your router brand’s app, log in, and you’ve got a live device list wherever you are. Some even let you pause internet for specific devices, which is honestly the most useful parenting feature ever invented.
