Is there anyway I can see if someone is 'piggybacking' on my wifi? Sometimes I notice that although connection indicates 54Mbps, my uploads are considerably slower(web pages take longer to load, surfing is slower) at certain periods of the day? If there is some way to detect this with or without installing a program, please give instructions. Thanks. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

You can look in the router for the DHCP clients list and see if there's anyone there, but your best bet is toturn on WPA security and set a non-dictionary passphrase as key. Then you'll know no-one else is using your WiFi. [Other reasons for slowdown are interference, ISP overload, malware, etc] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Not off the top of my head, but there are a couple of buttons in the menus that show the DHCP Clients. Do some poking around. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
