Hello,
As my internet sometimes is very slow I opened 192.168.1.1 (with that movistar/Spain specific page) that showed me that besides of my eth0-wired computer there are 4 other WLAN-IPs, although I, for the moment, do not have switched on any wireless device.
If you haven't enabled wireless, how would those others be connecting? The only other way is via direct Ethernet connection. Many devices have WiFi enabled out of the box.
The Spanish Movistar system adds some VLANs (not WLANs) to the setup, uses one for the TV service, and another for SIP, both hidden from view.
Many access points maintain a log of connections. Also, why not just change the WiFi password, if you think someone else is connecting to your WLAN? Of course, you should be using WPA2, as it's the most secure.
The Movistar router (a comtrend, typically) is not configured directly, but via a remote web page at the ISP, which only gives the client access to limited settings. You can not change the SSID, nor the encryption type, as far as I remember. And I don't remember if it can be disabled, which would be the sensible thing to do if not used. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 13.1 x86_64 "Bottle" at Telcontar)
