Are there any programs that one can download to check out and see who is on your wi-fi to make sure some fucker isn't leeching off your service? I know I got mine on a long ass password and its in WAN2 or whatever it's called encryption. I see the thing randomly light up sometimes when my computer is idle and utorrent and such isn't running. Just wanna make sure and have peace of mind. |
WPA2 encryption 
You should be able to log right into your wireless access point/router to see what devices are associated with it. If an unfamiliar device has an active DHCP lease, then you need to figure out what that device is. There are other ways to do this, but that's what I would do for a quick check. ETA: Whoa, guess I'm typing slow tonight

i have mine encrypted and i went in and set my router to only allow a certain amount of ips to be used (4 as that is how many wireless devices i have in the house) and I only allow my known mac addresses to access.
if one of my meth head neighbors figures all this out, then they deserve free internet. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |

Quoted: Also I wouldn't worry too much about activity when not in use. Your router and computer are always talking network background language. NBD. Right, well I have my xbox 360, and after getting the wifi router all setup I got on to see if I could log into xbox live with it, and I had to enter the password in order to get access to the wifi connection. I guess I am just paranoid. |
