What you can do is check your wireless router logs (generally by connecting to http://192.168.1.1 and logging into the administration page). The default logging should show who is currently connected (by IP address assignment and MAC address). You should also be able to increase logging to get some additional details. I would highly recommend locking down your wireless router to prevent misuse of your service (illegal file downloading, hacking, etc...). When authorities track down the source of illegal activities, they'll eventually find their way to the customer of the IP address from the ISP and the customer will have to prove they weren't the ones doing the activities.

Yes.
There should be a "log" file that you can download/export.
Also, you can check the mac addresses to see if they all match up with what you have.
You should probably think about adding some security (MAC filtering, encryption -WPA for example, Change the default IP range that is given out, that kind of thing).

The best course of action is to lock your connection with a password. Go to your IP address and it'll tell you how. Nobody can use your connection without having the exact password. It's the easiest way to go.

Yes. You can log into your router and it'll show you what computers/mac addresses are currently connected. Rule out the ones you know and any that are remaining are using your connection.

attempt resetting your router. per chance it might want to help. as well, verify your information superhighway connection on the modem. connect a stressed out laptop/pc on to the modem utilizing a Ethernet cable to work out if the web is operating.
