Hi, I have a wifi network. Is there anyway to check if other people are piggybacking on my network. My laptop wifi connection used to work fine. Last week the connection became very sporadic. Now it's back to normal but the laptop is only connecting at 5.5mbps when it used to be 11mbps. I may be a little paranoid. But I'd just like to make sure. I've setup a WEP encryption but I've heard it's easily broken into.
Any comments please.
