How to list all devices on the Windows or Linux home network
How does my Android phone figure out what's on my network without logging into the home router?
I can see 8 devices on the network when I log into the admin account of the router using a web browser on a laptop.
However, I can see all those devices from my Android phone WITHOUT logging into the router, simply by using "Fing" Android freeware:
My question?
How does the phone see both wired & wireless devices (such as a wired printer & a wired Ooma) without logging into the router?
More importantly, how can I get Windows & Linux to see the same 8 or 9 devices on my network that the phone sees *without* logging into the router's admin account?
