Map every device on your home network

Weekend project · Use what you have · Easy

Make a plain-English inventory of what is connected to your Wi-Fi and wired network. You may find old smart plugs, forgotten printers or devices with names that explain nothing.

Do it

  1. Log in to your router and view its connected-device list.
  2. Walk around the house identifying devices one by one.
  3. Rename recognisable devices in the router if it allows it.
  4. Record each device, room and connection type in a simple list.
  5. Investigate or remove anything you cannot identify.

What next?

Keep the useful notes, photograph the result if there is one, then go and find something else to do.
