I was scanning devices connected to my WiFi with netdiscover

netdiscover -r 192.168.31.0/24

I was unable to find any device. I only get router's IP and MAC address. It does not show any device even though I have connected 2 PCs and 2 Android phones.

My router is xiaomi 3c router.

Can anybody tell me why devices are not visible?

I can see all devices through the router page but not by a network scanning tool.

[I can see devices when connected to my Android hotspot scanning through netdiscover]

I was facing same issue. Was able to get the connected devices on mobile hotspot but not on a router.

Sometimes netdiscover ARP packets timeout in real networks which is very common, Hence, to increase the number of packets sent for scanning, use the following command:

netdiscover -c 10 -r ip_range -i interface-name

This worked for me.
