Hi [rea30](https://community.oscium.com/u/rea30),

inSSIDer uses experimental LAN or IP scanning which means it will also display all **wired** clients alongside **wireless** clients (with a PCAP adapter and Plus subscription). I talk about it a little more in detail in [this post here](http://metageek.discourse.group/t/metageek-plus-pro-dont-see-my-local-wifi-mac/1854/5).

I hope that helps!
