Can you find out when you last used your iPad remotely? (Find my iPad etc)

.ak

Unfortunately I was recently robbed, my iPad and Apple Macbook Air was taken. The trouble is I've been so busy over the last few days I'm unsure if they were taken on Wednesday or Tuesday which will help me narrow down a search on CCTV.

The only way I can do this is by finding out when exactly the iPad was last connected to the internet (it's a wifi only model so it would've disconnected as soon as it left the house).

Is there a way on Find my Ipad (or anything else like icloud) to see when it was last connected/used?

Any help greatly appreciated.

it should tell you when it was last located, not sure if you have to try track it first though

Your router might be able to show the current DHCP leases and when they expire if you subtract the lease duration it will give you some idea to the last time it was online at home.

You'll need to know/guess the MAC address if you can find the DHCP leases on the router use this site http://www.wireshark.org/tools/oui-lookup.html to narrow down the manufacture of the device.

I just tried it with my iPad and it worked but if your lease duration is too short it may have expired already and won't be present

Hrmm, good idea, but I'm a n00b when it comes to networking, even home networks.

I have a linksys router, how do I access the DHCP lease info?

Do you know it's IP? If so just enter it in a web browser and see what you get! Look on the bottom of the device and might see the IP and default username/password.

If not and you don't know it open a command prompt and run ipconfig /all or ifconfig on a MAC I think! The default gateway if your routers IP.

Yeh it's the standard gateway, 192.168.1.1, but once there I don't know how to find out the DHCP leases or expired ones?

Post a screenshot of the what you see or give me a model no and I'll see can I look it up

It's an EA2700

Here's the login portal

Looks very limited. If you can get shell access to it it might show the leases. I'm away from my pic now maybe try asking in Networking and Comms and see if they can help

Cheers, will do!

No reply yet, still looking about online.

Took a look at the user guide there and I don't think it's going to be possible.

Try open a command prompt and telnet to the device just type
telnet 192.168.1.1 and hit return its a shot in the dark but might return something

Great, I'll give that a bash when I get back home. cheers again!
