who is 10.0.1.3 wireless client in my time capsule

I use my time capsule as a router and there is this wireless client 10.0.1.3 along with all others (which are known to me), except this one.

How can I find out who is this, or what is it? 😕

I have AirPort Express connected to TC too, but it shows separately in the AirPort Utility.

MacBook 5,1

Power off the wireless devices that you can identify, then check around to find the other wireless devices that you have. It might be another computer, printer, iPhone, etc.

Some folks have a thermostat hooked up to the wireless, some have wireless to a satellite receiver or TV, etc.

If you still cannot identify the device, click on 10.0.1.3 for more information. Is there a hardware address there? It will look like xx : xx : xx : xx: xx : xx

LOL, how silly can I be - working on my MacBook not wired and thinking I've checked all my wireless clients 🙂

Thanks a lot Bob!

I renamed my laptop and restarted both my mac and the TC, but then the wireless client now shows 10.0.1.2, which is the same Mac now in the system preferences. Anyway, this now doesn't matter as long as I know who is it 🙂

Thanks again for assisting people like me who are not that into this complicated stuff 🙂

Take care,

I can sleep now 🙂

Your MacBook's IP address is also shown in System Preferences > Sharing.

Bob,

I would like to remove my AirPort Express Network and I don't want it to show as a Wi-Fi network. But I use it for the AirPlay for my music and it is connected/wired to my Bose audio system.

Is this possible?

P.S. I didnt know how to post a message to you only with a new topic.
