How can I see what MAC addresses try to access my Wi-Fi network?
The log on my router displays the IP addresses of connection attempts, but it does not include the MAC addresses.

Please let me know if there a free utility I can use for this?

Thanks!

3. Might be viewable in your wireless routers setup pages.
Most wireless access points/routers have setup/configuration pages, and one of those may show you MAC addresses attempting to connect.

On my Linksys you can find this by clicking the "Wireless" tab, then "Wireless Network Access", then clicking the button labelled "Wireless Client MAC List".
