Author Topic: Neighbors stealing my Wi-Fi.  (Read 3707 times)

How do I check, how many devices are using my wifi? I've recently had my connection constantly drop from 65 mbps to 6.5 or even 1 mbps.

Was curious how many Wi-Fi signals I would get if put my TP-LINK TL-WN722N on my window sill and scanned. Well stuff.


I went to a Chinese restaurant, and their Wi-Fi was named Korean Spy Network.  It gave me the chuckles.


On that image before, I don't know what the worry is with remembering complex passwords.

If you use a password with lots of replaced characters, then fine.
All you need to do is write the password down somewhere safe. A piece of paper in a sock drawer or what have you.

No one is going to be using spy cameras to get your password in order to leech of your WiFi.
And if your house is robbed or broken into, no thief is going to bother stealing your password. They'd rather knick your computer and dvd player. They're certainly not going to steal the password and then come back to sign in to your WiFi.

Difficulty in remembering a password for WiFi is not a valid excuse for not using longer safer complex passwords.

this router is so damn strong.

Just use a white list for mac adresses.
Because getting past that is obviously impossible.

It's not worth the energy required to do it.


Take the test.
Yea, it might take a super long time like it says if you are using notepad to crack it. There is commercial software that can crack 10-20 character passwords decently fast.

Consider turning down your transmit power by like 20% if you are really reaching that far away.

Also, you can filter MAC Addresses with most routers to blacklist people.

Don't tell anyone your password, just enter it in yourself for family.

I don't know if this was nessessary, but you should report them to the cops.

Because if they can get your WiFi password they are possibly hacking.
Doesn't work like that.

But now I know your password length reducing the time it takes to crack! Hope you didn't want your gmail account too much.
