I currently use the internet through a wireless
router for my home.
I was wondering if there is a way to see who
is using my router outside my home? is that
possible? I mean, can i tell from my comouter if
my nieghbor trys to use my internet router being
we are in range of each other?
also, will have too many people using your network
slow down internet surfing?

Hi
Yes other people can use your wireless router if
you have no security enable or/and if you broadcast
your SSID, a quick fix, you can disable SSID
broadcast, your laptop should still see the network
but so can others who have connected to it prior
to you changing the settings, the best bet is
to set up security, you can view who is
connected, look at DHCP section of your router,
this will show you sessions and the mac address
of any equipment using the router, so if the mac
address does not correspond to any of your
laptops PC's etc.. then people are using it.
Without knowing which type of router you have I
can not tell you where to look.
