Three methods spring to mind probably in the order I'd try them.
1. If you've got or can find the manual, perform a factory reset and
start with factory fresh settings.
2. Fire up wireshark and watch the traffic as the box is turned on.
You'll have to run in promiscuous (no filtering) mode and this can
be difficult to interpret if you have windows boxes spamming the
network.
3. The old fashioned way was to issue a broadcast ping and then examine
the arp table for new respondies. ie.
# ping -c 1 -b 192.168.1.255
# arp -a
Unfortunatly some networks/devices don't like/respond to broadcast
pings these days.
