Step-by-Step Guide: Portable SterJo Fast IP Scanner Tutorial

SterJo Fast IP Scanner is a lightweight, portable Windows utility designed to ping large ranges of IP addresses simultaneously to discover active devices on a local area network (LAN). It can ping up to 500+ IP addresses per second, making it an incredibly fast way to find out what is connected to your router. Here is how you use it to find connected network devices. Step 1: Run the Tool and Configure the IP Range

Because SterJo Fast IP Scanner is an independent, portable application, it does not require installation.

Launch the program by opening the downloaded executable file.

Locate the IP Range configuration boxes at the top of the interface.

Input your starting network IP address (e.g., 192.168.1.1) into the From field.

Input your ending network IP address (e.g., 192.168.1.254) into the To field. Step 2: Execute the Network Scan

Click the Scan button (usually marked by a play or radar icon) to begin the process.

The program will leverage multi-threading technology to ping all addresses within your specified range at the same time.

Wait for the progress bar to finish; given the tool’s optimized speeds, a typical home network scan concludes in just a few seconds. Step 3: Analyze the Connected Devices

Once completed, the utility generates a clean, scannable table containing active network hosts. You can review three primary pieces of data for each discovered device:

IP Address: The local network address assigned to the active device.

Hostname: The designated name of the machine (e.g., “Desktop-PC”, “iPhone”, or “SmartTV”), which helps you identify what the device actually is.

Ping Response Time: The speed (in milliseconds) at which the device replied, confirming its status as online and active. Step 4: Export Your Results (Optional)

If you are auditing your network or troubleshooting connection issues, you can preserve the data. Right-click inside the results panel.

Select the option to copy the data or save the list to a text file for future network documentation.

If you suspect unknown devices are lingering on your Wi-Fi after looking over the results, would you like steps on how to block them or change your router configuration? SterJo Fast IP Scanner – Download
