Could you elaborate on the process of identifying devices on a network using IP addresses? I'm curious to understand the steps involved in this process, particularly for those who are not particularly tech-savvy. Would it involve using specific software or commands? Additionally, is there a way to differentiate between different types of devices, such as computers, smartphones, or smart home appliances, based on their IP addresses? Furthermore, how do I ensure the security of my network while performing this task, and are there any potential risks I should be aware of? Thank you for your assistance in clarifying this process.

In the web browser, enter the IP address of your router. This address is typically provided by your internet service provider or can be found on the router itself.

Once you have entered the IP address, you will be prompted to log in with your router's credentials. These credentials are typically a username and password that you set up when initially configuring your router.

After logging in, navigate to the "Device List" or "Connected Devices" section of your router's interface. This section may be labeled differently depending on your router's make and model.

In the "Device List" or "Connected Devices" section, you will be able to view a list of all devices currently connected to your router. The list will include details about each device, such as its IP address, MAC address, and possibly the device's name or model.
