If I see more then one DHCP client on my router, does that mean someone else is connected?

Question

On my compusa broadband wireless router, I see two DHCP clients. Me and another one. Does the router have it's personall DHCP client attached? Or could it be the lan line modem?

Or not, does this mean someone is stealing bandwidth?

Answer 1

you can find out if someone else too connected with your router from your router's setting page .... hmm not directly ... but suppose go to setup where you can restrict access to your router by MAC Ids ... at there you can see if someone other then you is connected to your router ... for more safety , you can choose that option to restrict that WiFi access to only specific MACs that you enter ...

Answer 2

Your router will automatically have its own identity, otherwise your computer doesn't recognize it. even little thumb drives have their own I.D's, it shows them when you plug it in and you see it in your  My Computer window.

So, no. you're not losing bandwith or being jacked.
