1165185 2010-12-28 04:19:00 I have a Telecom Thomson TG585v8 wireless modem.

Been getting concerned that others can access us.

I have changed access key and added additional numbers/letters.

Changed to 64 bit encryption and am using WEP encryption.

Any ideas and how do I know if I am being hacked?

Thanks,

Ian:banana

1165186 2010-12-28 04:25:00 Look at your DHCP table in the router, then you will know if anyone is connected who shouldn't be.

But why are you using WEP? It has known flaws which are easily exploitable. Use WPA2.

Where do I locate, DHCP? :help:

Telecom set it up, for me, over the phone and said to use that. My lappy is over 5 years old, so me be why they said that...:stare:

1165188 2010-12-28 06:05:00 Maybe. Do you know what wireless card you have? Agent_24 (57)
1165189 2010-12-28 07:16:00 If you can, use at least WPA. WEP is pointless. Some older wireless stuff may not support WPA2, but should be OK with WPA - even my 7 year old iPaq supports it. inphinity (7274)

No I don't sorry. But I have tried to change to other protocols but nothing else works. At the moment I'm in too much pain, to think straight:waughh::confused::yuck::groan:, so will come back here later. Sorry guys...:horrifie

I believe the interface is similar to the ST536v6, load up the web interface and then go to Home Network > Devices

That should give a list of everything connected, what its hostname is, what IP it's using and what interface (ethernet or wifi) it's connected on.

www.aida64.com Download that and it will tell you what your hardware is. It's only a 30 day trial but you should only need it for 5 minutes
