detect who is on wifi

Post by spc2941 »

hi,

happy new year. i suspect that my neighbors are taking advantage of my wifi. Is there a software that I can use where I can see who is using my wifi? thanks

i did a search on "who is on wifi", "detect who is on wireless", and I came up with nothing. thanks again

The searches should have led you to some products such as AirSnare, and Network Magic.

Also..you can monitor your DHCP service..and look for unidentified computers connected to your router.

But if you're using WPA or higher security....you shouldn't have to worry.

What router are you using? On my router's "interface" I can see a DHCP table that lists what is connected.

Are you using WPA/WPA2/WEP to encrypt your wireless signal?
