WiFi Guard does not see wireless devices 22 January 2013, 12:01 |
I have WiFi Guard installed on a PC that is connected to a Cisco/Linksys E4200v2 router via CAT-5 cable. WiFi Guard has gone through multiple scans but the only devices it shows are the PC it is installed on, and the router. It does not show the two iPads, or the Laptop connected to the network via the WiFi. Suggestions? Thanks in advance.

I feel the same. Inquiring imagine it must be enabled on the router "AP Isolation"
'Creates a separate virtual network for your wireless network. When this feature is enabled, each of your wireless client will be in its own virtual network and will not be able to communicate with each other. You may want to utilize this feature if you have many guests that frequent your wireless network'.
After this comment I have a technical question: :S
SoftPerfect WiFi Guard do you see the devices that are behind a router with "AP Isolation" active?

It seems that in case if the AP isolation is turned on, devices can only connect to the Internet and cannot communicate with each other. In this case the WiFi Guard presently won't be able to detect these devices.
I however have an idea how to detect such devices by asking the router about them. Not every router supports this, but I guess it still could help some users.
