Is there any way to tell if my neighbour is piggybacking?
The reason I ask is that my wireless system occasionally runs at a snail pace. This often happens at peak times, and sometimes not at all. I have checked my internet speeds when I have suspected that the neighbour is piggybacking and even though the broadband speed check shows full capacity, it is still running slow. Even my Google home page takes about a minute or so to load at these times. I'm running my home pc on a Belkin 54G wireless system. Data encryption is WEP and the password is still set at the default when I set it up with the manufacturer's helpline. (Do they always suggest
10,20,30,40,50?) So I was wondering if there was any way to detect piggybacking, preferably in the form of free software? read more and respond »Posted 5 years ago by Steve O in Wireless Networking
