Press the Windows key.
Type cmd and press Enter, to start a command prompt.

The best way to do this is to log on to your router and find the information there. If you tell us what make and model of router you use then we may be able to guide you through the menus.

You may like to try Advance IP Scanner. It could be run without installing or install it if you frequently want to check the presence of computers on your network.

That screen shot shows your routing table. This simply shows the mapping that the network software uses to decide where to send network packets. You clearly only have one network connection so almost everything is sent to the gateway at 192.168.1.1 via the interface at 192.168.1.2, the only exception being packets intended for the local PC, which go to the loopback address 127.0.0.1 and packets intended for the local network which are sent to their destination directly, via the interface at 192.168.1.2

This tells you nothing about what devices are connected.

Your local computer does not have the information needed to show this.

There are two possible ways to do what you want. The easiest is to log in to the router and use the menus to display what it thinks is connected. This is very easy and gives a pretty accurate answer. The only alternative is to use the kind of port scanning software that a hacker would use as a first step in a breakin attempt. This software tries to access every possible address on the network and tells you what it found. This is also not completely accurate because a device can be connected to your network in "stealthy" mode, where it won't respond to any incoming requests.
