Start dev mode in your browser I guess and see where it's getting hung up? Then again it could just be the router not loading that page because it's corrupt or something. Backup your settings and flash the firmware again then load your settings back?

Either you've got a device on your network that the detection script is failing on (Usually a character issue) or it's related to the firmware version you have installed/been dumped with.

 

I've had both happen with various Belkin products that are now serving as access points. I have an Belkin N1 that goes ape-###### trying to detect the hostname of another Belkin router (Which is called BELKIN).

 

It's a non-issue, plenty of good software available to work around network discovery/browsing.

How can I check where it's hanging? I use Firefox.

 

Am I right I thinking if I flash an older firmware (I believe the new firmware is the one hanging), I'll loose all the settings? (if so, I can't do this because it's my letting agents that have those settings, I live in a House of Multiple Occupancy).

Are you saying there are ways to see who is connected to Wi-Fi other than the router's "DHCP Client List" page?

Lots but some are a lot more complicated than others and your Belkin will limit your success for the easy methods. If you can SSH onto the router for example (Which I doubt for your Belkin I'm afraid), you can show the connected devices on wlan0 via MAC address then marry it up against the list of clients served addresses via the DHCP daemon.

You could run a tool like "Wake On Lan" from Nirsoft which does some easy scanning of local IP / NetBIOS to discover active, dormant and past LAN devices in addition to shouting at them until they wake up.

You could also run your own DHCP server and turn off the router's DHCP service, this will show you who has been served an address on your network and MAC address rules / filtering can allow you to target specific devices.

You can also use Wireshark on your LAN to capture ARP requests which will divulge MAC addresses via sender and destination, so devices communicating on your LAN.

 

EDIT: For a low tech easy method, try Windows Vista/7 Network Discovery Map

    • It's a feature, not a bug: Windows Hello face unlock no longer works in the dark

      Microsoft takes unreliability to reliable levels, ffs...
    • It's a feature, not a bug: Windows Hello face unlock no longer works in the dark

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      It's a feature, not a bug: Windows Hello face unlock no longer works in the dark by Usama Jawad Windows Hello is a security mechanism offered by Microsoft in compatible Windows PCs that allows customers to use biometric authentication mechanisms such as facial or iris recognition, fingerprint, or a PIN to access their accounts. Although it's a great feature when it works correctly, that is not always the case. Now, Microsoft has changed the way this feature works, and people aren't exactly pleased. As spotted by Windows Central, Windows Hello hasn't been working as people would expect since at least April's Patch Tuesday update. Since then, the mechanism requires both an infrared (IR) sensor and a color webcam to function correctly. Previously, Windows Hello relied on IR sensors to create a 3D facial map, just like the iPhone. IR sensors work quite well in low-light environments, but Microsoft does not allow customers to rely on them anymore due to a patch for a security vulnerability. It is important to note that most webcams don't illuminate the environment on their own and rely on external light. This essentially means that Windows Hello simply doesn't work in low-light environments for many users. In our own testing, Windows Hello seems to be working in low warm light, shown below: However, it now fails to work in an even dimmer environment, such as that with red light: That said, it seems that Microsoft has not implemented the change perfectly. Users have reported that if they disable their webcam through Device Manager, Windows Hello falls back to using IR sensors only and continues to function the way it used to. While that may act as a workaround for users right now, it'll be interesting to see if Microsoft patches this loophole down the line, too; it certainly wouldn't be surprising now that it's more widely known.

    • Latest Patch Tuesday has broken DHCP Server in all Windows Server editions

      By +sphbecker · Posted

      I know Windows DHCP and DNS servers get teased a lot, but those services were at least created at a time when MS cared more than they do now, and they work mostly as expected. I actually use both in a multisite professional setting, not really because I love them, but because we use Active Directory and those services go hand-in-hand with it. A few times when I have needed to configure some more advanced features, I was worried Windows might not support them, but so far it has not let me down. I can only image the horror a Windows 11 era DHCP server would be, probably fewer options than the basic service on a Netgear router.
    • Firefox gets new way to pin and unpin tabs

      Since the article doesn't cover it: >Pinned Tabs allow you to always keep your favorite tabs open and just a click away. Pinned Tabs are small, can't be closed accidentally, and open automatically when you start Firefox. from https://support.mozilla.org/en...keep-favorite-websites-open
