can anybody enlighten me as to why when i log into my router it does not show my wifi connected phone as an attached device? everything else shows up, e.g. home pc, wireless laptop & xbox 360. concerns me as other similar devices may be connected without my knowledge thus leading to a bit of stealth hacking?
