Can anyone suggest a good free Network Monitor that resides in.windows sys tray that would tell.me what devices are using my network, and whether there are any vulnerabilities?

I don't see the point of using one in a home network, I don't see anyone wasting his time trying to break in it...

I agree with you. I tried it for the fun of the experience. When you install this, BD spams you with a fear mongering message to sell their very expensive router with protection against all the latest and greatest. :emoji_fearful::emoji_fearful::emoji_fearful:

I just installed this. It's shows just enough info to check on your network. Requires two processes: the ubiquitous Bitdefender Product Agent and the scanner itself. Hey, it's free!

Update: I had installed it just to try it, forgot to uninstall and like BD Free, it cut my WiFi out. BD products obviously don’t like my PC. Uninstalled, restarted pc, and voila! WiFi working again!
