# Active Guests

Active Guests shows the devices **currently connected** to your network: who has been online how long, which IP they were given, and how much data they have used — all in one table.

> **How do I open this screen?** From the left menu, go to **Guests → Active Guests**.

## Table columns

- **USER:** the username of the guest whose session is open (usually their phone number).
- **MAC:** the hardware address of the connected device. If a guest has several devices, each appears on its own row.
- **IP:** the local IP address assigned to the device. This is how you match a device during a complaint or a security review.
- **START:** the date and time the session opened.
- **DURATION:** how long the session has been open (for example *29g 9s* = 29 days 9 hours).
- **↓ DOWNLOADED:** data downloaded during the session.
- **↑ UPLOADED:** data uploaded during the session.

> **Spotting unusual traffic:** sort by the download/upload columns to find a device with abnormally high consumption. To apply a quota, move the guest into a suitable group (**Guests → Groups**).
