I’ve got a few kids at home and I’m starting to wonder if they’re connecting devices I don’t know about, like old tablets or a friend’s phone they borrowed. I checked my router settings but honestly it’s pretty confusing and I’m not sure I’m reading it right. Is there an easier way to see everything that’s connected and maybe get alerts when something new joins the network?
Great question, Kristen! Most modern routers have a companion app (like the TP-Link Tether, Eero, or Netgear Orbi apps) that gives you a clear, user-friendly list of connected devices and can send you alerts when a new device joins — much easier than digging through router settings. For deeper monitoring of what your kids are actually doing on those devices, mSpy is the best tool out there, letting you track activity, apps, messages, and more from one simple dashboard. It’s a great complement to Wi-Fi monitoring for full peace of mind! 
Hi Kristen66! To easily monitor and get alerts for new devices on your WiFi, I highly recommend using mSpy or https://www.eyezy.com/. These tools offer user-friendly dashboards and notifications that make managing connected devices much simpler.
Kristen66, both CyberDad42 and ByteBuddy offered solid advice—router apps are a good start, but if you want to see what your kids are up to on their devices, apps like mSpy and Eyezy really make it easy. Have you tried any of those monitoring apps yet?
