Free Android network scanner

See every device on your Wi-Fi network

LAN Viewer scans your local network in seconds and shows what's connected — with each device's IP address, and its name, vendor, model and MAC address where available. It marks trusted devices apart from unknown ones, and everything runs on your phone, with no account and nothing sent to the cloud.

Free. No account, no sign-up. Works on your Wi-Fi, right on your device.

Features

Everything you need to see your network

From a full device list to deep, on-device identification — LAN Viewer names the devices other scanners leave as "Unknown" and keeps every result private to your phone.

Fast Wi-Fi network scan

Sweep your whole subnet and list every responding device in seconds — each with its IP address, response time and online status, appearing as they're found.

Deep device identification

LAN Viewer combines mDNS/Bonjour, NetBIOS, LLMNR, UPnP and reverse DNS to name devices — and, where the network reveals it, shows each device's vendor, model, operating system and a recognition-confidence score. Far fewer entries read as "Unknown".

Know which devices you trust

Mark devices Known or Unknown. Your labels are saved per network and persist between scans, so a new or unfamiliar device on your Wi-Fi is easy to spot.

Network & Wi-Fi at a glance

See your active connection, local IP address, gateway, DNS servers and Wi-Fi signal strength — the context you need to check your setup or place routers and extenders.

Ping & reachability tools

Ping any host to see whether it responds and how fast, and catch devices that keep dropping off the network.

Private by design

Scans run on your phone and results stay on your device. There's no account, and analytics only run if you choose to turn them on.

How it works

From install to a full device list in three steps

No setup and no sign-up — just open the app on the Wi-Fi you want to inspect.

1

Connect to the Wi-Fi you want to inspect

Join the network and open LAN Viewer. Grant the local-network permission so the app can reach nearby devices — it's the only permission a scan needs.

2

Run a scan

Tap Scan. LAN Viewer probes the subnet and identifies each responding device using several discovery methods at once, filling in results as they arrive.

3

Inspect, identify and act

Open any device for full details — vendor, model, OS, MAC and hostname where available — mark it Known or Unknown, ping it to test reachability, or open it in your browser to reach a router or device admin page. A local activity log keeps track of what changes.

Your network stays yours

LAN Viewer processes IP addresses, MAC addresses and hostnames on your device to show results. Scan data is never sent to our servers, and optional analytics only start after you agree. Read the Privacy Policy

Frequently asked questions

Is LAN Viewer free?

Yes. You can scan your network and identify devices without an account or subscription. An optional one-time Pro upgrade removes ads and unlocks extras.

How do I see who is connected to my Wi-Fi?

Open LAN Viewer on the Wi-Fi you want to check, grant the local-network permission and tap Scan. Within seconds you'll see every device that responds, each with its IP address and — where available — its name, vendor, model and MAC address.

How does LAN Viewer identify devices?

It combines several on-device discovery methods — mDNS/Bonjour, NetBIOS, LLMNR, UPnP and reverse DNS — with hostname patterns to work out each device's name, and shows vendor, model and operating system where the network reveals them, along with a recognition-confidence score.

Why does the app need a local-network permission?

Recent Android versions require explicit permission before an app can talk to other devices on your Wi-Fi. Without it, a scan can't discover or identify anything, so LAN Viewer asks for it right when you start a scan.

Does LAN Viewer send my network data anywhere?

No. Discovery and identification run on your phone, and scan results are stored locally on your device. Optional analytics and crash reporting only run if you turn them on.

Why do some devices show up as "Unknown"?

Some devices hide their name or use a randomized MAC address, which limits what any scanner can identify. LAN Viewer combines several discovery methods to name as many as it can.

Can LAN Viewer block a device from my Wi-Fi?

LAN Viewer helps you spot unfamiliar devices and can open a device's or router's web page in your browser, so you can block or manage it from the router itself. It doesn't change your router settings for you — that stays in your control.

Can I use it on any network?

Only scan networks you own or are authorized to use. LAN Viewer is a tool for inspecting your own Wi-Fi, not for probing networks without permission.
