How to tell whether someone is connecting to my wireless network?

I am using a D-Link DL-524UP Router ( Wireless Router ) and i am experiencing a lot of '; lag '; and the performance of my internet is really poor.Even though i set a WEP encryption key , i would want to check who is connecting to my router with their Laptops or wireless adapters... Cause i suspect someone is using our internet.



How do i tell or check whether someone is connecting to my wireless router and using it ?How to tell whether someone is connecting to my wireless network?
easy if ur using vista go to the network and sharing center.



Go to view status of ur connection



Click details



and find the ipv4 default gateway (ip adress)



type in ur browser http://(theip)



Enter



If there is no password find the users of the wireless conectivity if there is and its the default its usually



ID: Admin

Pass:(blank)...This is for d-link



get in and block the other users make sure its not ur pc



Should be the same FOR XP



btw if u dont have a password... Set a password to prevent unauthorized changes to ur modem and account (not concerning the WEP Key the modem password)How to tell whether someone is connecting to my wireless network?
With XP go to ';My network places%26gt;Entire Network (On the side)'; You will see all of the work groups and can check each one for computers that are not yours (There may only be one, if all of your computers use the same workgroup).



You can also change your WEP (or disabling it entirely and using Ethernet). Wireless is not a good way to connect to the Internet if you want good performance Ethernet (cable) is much better. If you want to use it at really, really fast speed you should connect the modem directly into your computers Ethernet (a crossover cable is no necessary with a modem)
Try network stumbler

It will tell you the signal strength, line noise, signal to noise ratio (SNR) and who is on the line (their code name)

if u're using xp, go to ';my network places'; then click ';view work group computer';. It will display your pc name %26amp; others (can be ur fren's,family or strangers)These are the ppl who connects to ur internet..
dont cut the person off. just tell them to please use less bandwidth.
