Dummy looking for network monitoring software

hello tek syndicate!

i recently found out that networks are kinda cool so im exploring my own little home network and seeing what i can accomplish with my shitty dlink dir300.

im using windows 7

my question is does anyone know of some easy to use network mapping software. i have tried the windows network map tool but it only shows devices that are hardwired to the router. so i want a router that will show wireless devices.

 

i have also been advised on mumble to per-emptivly tell someone called zoltan to not talk about linux

 

 

have a look at nmap and wireshark, they're both pretty handy.
