is there a way to check if someone is stealing your internet by connecting to your wireless?

Question

or to just check how many people are using your wireless internet.

Answer 1

i don't think there is. I've asked this quesiton before and everyone said to just have a secure connection ....WEP or WAP passwords....good luck.

Answer 2

If your wireless connection is not secured with WEP or any other encryption algorithm, then there is a possiblity of stealing your wireless connection.

You can check this by looking at the active ip addresses assigned. This can be viewed by going to the admin console of the router which is usually accessed by 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1

Another place to view is by looking at the LOG files recorded by the wireless router.

Answer 3

checking how many are on your network just look for active ip address's on your local wireless network anyone you did not approve are likely sponging from your connection. the range of a wireless router at least in my area is 300 feet or less. So the "spongers" are likely to be tapping in remotly possibly with thier own router to boost the connection range.

Answer 4

It is not stealing it is called sharing, is that not a nice xmas thought?
