 Thread : Neighbors Showing on My Wireless Network
 
More Information

Yesterday I discovered 2 of my neighbors are showing up on my wireless network. Today there were 2 more. I've disabled their access. One lives next door and I'm absolutely certain he's not hacking. Do not live in an apartment and all my neighbors can easily afford broadband so I don't think they're hacking. I have WPA security enabled, have an old wirelss card on one computer that I can't use WEP with. Also when I go into the properties of the other people, they all have either WEP, WPA, or TKIP enabled. I'm going to talk to my neighbor when he's back in town, he works for Microsoft so hope he may know what's happening. Anyone have any ideas of what is going on? This has just started in the last 2 days. If it were just one, I chalk it off to some neighborhood kid hacking but not 4 Thanks

So you have WPA encryption enabled on your wireless router and 4 computers you don't recognize are connecting to the router?

Have you tried changing the login and password for you router and then changing the WPA Key, and restarting everything?

Also what brand/model of router do you have?

Rawket

Haven't changed the password or login name, as I said I don't think I'm being hacked. I talked with my neighbor's wife yesterday, he's still out of town, and she said that they have run into this in the past and he said it was no big deal. He works for Microsoft and was doing security for them at one time so I'm hoping he has answer. The neighborhood I live in are all single family dwellings and if a strange car is parked with someone in it for more than 5 minutes, someone is calling the police. I'm using a ZyXEL x-550 router
