| 1256654 | 2012-01-31 05:00:00 | I don't really have any neighbors that are very close - most are more than 1/2 mile away and there are just those two . But I have an ALPHA WIFI auxiliary antenna that can get WIFI signals over six miles away - so I wonder if I need to turn off my SSID broadcast? I don't see any blinking on my wireless LED at any times except when I'm using my netbook - but I leave the router on 24/7, so I may not be here when I'm getting snarked . Is there any intrusion detectors (read: free) that I can use to check for extraneous MAC addresses? |

| 1256655 | 2012-01-31 05:20:00 | Did you change it from WEP, to something more secure?? ie: WPA/WPA2? | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1256656 | 2012-01-31 05:35:00 | I'm running WPA2. Is that good enough? | SurferJoe46 (51) | ||
| 1256657 | 2012-01-31 05:49:00 | If you go to your modems settings normally 10.1.1.1 or 192.168.1.1 or similar, look around for a "lan clients" or "users" page/tab and it should display the mac address, ip used to connect and even a name of all the users on your network. This may vary depending on your modem/router and firmware. | icow (15313) | ||
| 1256658 | 2012-01-31 05:59:00 | The server at 192.168.1.1 is taking too long to respond. The server at 10.1.1.1 is taking too long to respond. Both are time-outs. I guess I'll have to get out the owner's manual. |

| 1256659 | 2012-01-31 06:27:00 | icow isn't actually saying that's the ip but just something similar | Slankydudl (16687) | ||
| 1256660 | 2012-01-31 06:55:00 | you may be entering the wrong IP addrerss. I just replaced a router yesterday in a business, its ip was 192.168.0.1 Assuming you are using windows, open a command prompt, if XP click start, run, type in cmd, if Vista or W7, click start, type in cmd click it in the results to open, then type in ipconfig Look for the gateway address, thats what you type in a browser to open, Eg: http://192.168.0.1 |

| 1256661 | 2012-01-31 09:20:00 | If you are using WPA2 and your password is not something idiotic like 123456789 then you are unlikely to have anyone leeching from you. | Agent_24 (57) | ||
| 1256662 | 2012-01-31 20:11:00 | Just wondering do you have a link to that Alpha thing that works over 6 miles away? | nedkelly (9059) | ||
| 1256663 | 2012-01-31 20:12:00 | Download Overlook Fing. It will display all connections on your network. But, like Agent says, WPA2 will not let anyone crack your non-trivial password. |
