Question

I have a linksys unsecured wifi hub. How would I know if someone else was accessing it?

Answer 1

Enter 'cmd' into the run commands and type 'net view' press enter key

Answer 2

if you log into the router it may show "attached devices" this is a list of currently attached PCs including any hackers. The simplest thing would be to set up security encryption, without it your are asking for freeloaders to piggy-back on your internet access and potentially view your own files if you have allow sharing

Answer 3

i'm not totaly sure but would a Net usage monitor, not let you see unusual activity?

Answer 4

Unfortuniately, net-view or Network Places won't show everything.

The best way is to log onto your router and check the DHCP client list.

Answer 5

Doesn't is make more sense to enable the WPA than to worry about finding out who is accessing your unsecured router? It will take a lot less time.
