What is that software that enables me to see who's using my wireless network?

You really cant tell without some wireless monitoring software. The DHCP leases issued by the router will only show those connected using DHCP it wont show someone connected with a static IP outside the DHCP range.
Even with monitoring software you can only see what IP's are active not who owns them. You can go to a system prompt and use arp -a to see what shows up but dont trust that to show everything either.
Just be safe -- USE WIRELESS SECURITY its in every router I have ever seen.. and you can also disable the SSID broadcast to make your system a little more difficult to find.

Log into the router as you did to set it up and check the leases issued by dhcp, if there are more than the number of machines you are using someone else is on. There is no way to tell who without police intervention. Better still set encryption and stop them!

Your router should tell you who is logged into your network.
