How to get the name of the router device which is connected to my computer.
I will explain this situation with an example. This example will be hypothetical;
I am working in the building which contain a lot of router device. every room has a router device. and i want to learn about which router connected with which computer. I know router names by looking on the router device. so when I type command line "ping 'the router device name'". then I am learning router device ip. There is a few employees in each room and every employees have a portable computer which is belong to company. My boss said to me can you learn which computer is which room in real time. I can deal with this problem. if i could learn router device name -which is connected my computer- with c#. I will make an application which is writing name/ip of router device in database on network. all portable computers will have this app. so i will be able to learn which computer is which room in real time. my problem is not to know how to get router device name/ip. Is it clear?

By The way I know all portable computer's name which are belong to company. So I can match rooms and computer's names.

Solution 1

Your machine is not connected to a router. It's connected to a network. The router, or some other device, is a gateway to other networks.

The gateway address your machine has is the near-side of the gateway of the local network used to route traffic to other networks. It's possible for the gateway to be some other device other than a router.

What you're talking about is not trivial. You're not going to get a full description of how to do this in a few forum posts.

You're going to need a SNMP library to handle discovering devices on the network for you. There is an open source library called SnmpSharpNet[^] that can do that.

Again me . I apologise but can you write me a document/website to learn the snmp#net library? I found #snmp library, when i was searching for snmp#net. Is #snmp library used for the same subject with the snmp#net library?

Dave Kreskowiak 27-May-15 11:27am

No, I can not write you documentation on how to use the library and how to do what you want. I simply don't have the time.

This is where YOU do the research on the library and what you need to do to discover devices on the network.

No I do not want the document which written by you. Surely I do the search on the research. But I couldn't find. I don't want fish. I want to learn fishing. But I have not book which name is "Fishing". :) So I mean If you know, can you write website name, article , etc. about this subject on this website. Thanks for your help

Really? Finding the documentation on the library is not hard at all. Google "snmpsharpnet documentation[^]

It even comes up with examples!

I realized I don't know how to surf on the internet or I don't know how to search. Thanks again.
