This item is just a network scanner. Like many that are available for free. I PAID for it because it says " you can now control which devices are connected or disconnected to your network."
But YOU CAN'T. You can SEE which machines are connected, but you cannot CONTROL anything.
It also says: "Is your network slow? Find out who is using it." And while you CAN see WHO is using your network, you cannot see what they are doing - if your network is slow, you cannot see which machines are hogging it.
The description is VERY misleading. It over promises and under delivers. There are many free applications that do much more than this.
