From: Abbigail on 1 Jan 2006 08:00 Hi, How would I be able to tell, if the neighbours where accessing my wireless connection, I would assume that the connection would be slower, however is it possible to tell if someone of accessing my wireless connection, is there any free software to download which could monitor this? Regards,
From: riggor99999 on 1 Jan 2006 08:58 The easiest way is to go into your router logs, dhcp logs, your wireless logs, etc. Assuming you are using DHCP for all the clients, pc, laptops, etc ...both wired and wireless ... you should be able to identify all your machines - either by host name or MAC address. If there is something you don't recognize - that may be your neighbor. I use LinkLogger (www.linklogger.com) to track all of my router traffic. This is not wireless specific - but tracks all activity going in and out of my router.

You probably wouldn't notice the speed depending on what they were doing. Have you configured any security whatsoever? MAC filtering is not considered security. David.

My linksys router allows more than 60 devices without a reduction in speed.if your neighbour can access your wireless,who cares?? "William P.N.
