... Is there a more or less simple way to find out if there are others using my WLAN - even for somebody who has not the slightest idea of how networks work?
Some more details:
my router tells me on the status page:
There are 3 "DHCP clients" (one is my computer, I guess I know the 2 other ones)
and there are 6 "Wireless Clients - Authenticated stations"; 3 of the Mac-Addresses correspond to the ones in "DHCP clients", of the other 3 I don't know nothing...
In addition to WPA, virtually all routers support mac address filter. Basically a lookup table of mac address that can be used to "Allow only those listed." to connect. You get the mac addresses for your wireless devices, enter those in the table, and turn the filter on and unless the mac address of a wireless device matches what you put in the table -- that device cannot connect. With WPA and a mac address filter, you can eliminate 99.99% of unwanted connections, even if you put your router in the middle of Times Square. (the other 0.01% are those the pentagon can't keep out and you are not going to keep out with normal routers...) -- David C.
