In one aspect, a method is described. The method includes detecting a first data packet transmitted through a wide area network (WAN), the first packet representing media presented at a client device of a plurality of client devices at a media exposure measurement location, each client device having a respective device identifier; detecting, within a monitoring interval, one or more second data packets transmitted through a local area network (LAN), each of the one or more second packets specifying a candidate device identifier, where the monitoring interval comprises a time window from the detection of the first packet; generating a score for each candidate device identifier based on a number of the second packets detected within the monitoring interval; based on the score, selecting, from the candidate device identifiers, a target device identifier; and storing data correlating the first packet with the target device identifier.

Monitoring encrypted network traffic data

Example methods and apparatus to recognize metered devices connected to proprietary WiFi extenders are disclosed herein. In some examples, a first device comprising at least one memory including a table, and at least one processor to broadcast a first message to a network extender, the first message including a first address associated with a second device and a message identifier, identify, in response to obtaining a second message including the message identifier, a second address embedded on a data link layer of the second message, and store the second address in the table in association with the second device.
