Most people have a network composed of at lease two or three computers in their homes. The problem is that a lot of these people don't know how the network actually works or what they can do to optimize and secure it. The solution to this problem is HomeNet Manager. As the name clearly states, this Windows application helps you manage and configure your home network in the easiest way possible and it's a real help when it comes to designing your home network from scratch.

After installing and launching the application for the first time, it will first analyze your network and computers configuration and will then display them in a clear and graphical way. At this point, you are able to configure the shared folders for your computer, view the IP address of each network device and access your router's configuration page with one single click. Besides that, you can view the IP address and name of your Internet Service Provider.

Furthermore, you can scan your network for shared resources and view all the folders shared by each computer connected to the network. A very useful feature included in HomeNet Manager is the "Intruder Protection", which can act as a firewall for your network, being able to detect and stop any hacker attack to your network before it can do any harm. This feature works seamlessly and automatic and you don't need to configure anything in this situation.

The application is a real help when it comes to designing your home network from scratch, as it can show you how to optimally build up your home network. As such, you only need to select the type of network that you would like to create, which can be either office or home, and then the application will display the best position for each network device in a graphical way.

Pros

It can detect all network devices and can display the IP address and name for each of them. Besides that, it can scan for network shares for each network device. Furthermore, it can protect your network from hacker attacks with one click. Moreover, it allows you to design your home network, by displaying each device optimal position in a graphical way.

Cons

The interface may need some familiarization time in order to be fully used. HomeNet Manager allows you to easily manage your home network and view detailed information about each connected device.
