    Wireless network question

    Is there a way i can monitor the activity on my wireless network? I looked all through the router software and it really doesnt have any way for me to monitor connections, bandwidth, performance, etc.

    Is there a way via windows maybe?

    Thanks.

      you mean monitor all the packets?

      yes, get a program called Ethereal

              id like to see how many people are connected, and show me a breakdown of bandwidth use on each client ... maybe even give me the ability to boot a person?

              My router only tells me how many people are connected, but no details at all. I have a feeling neighbors are tapping in, and i have reasons why i cannot change or tighten my settings right now to block outside connections.

              so id like to go in and see who is connected, and maybe boot them

                  you could do mac address filtering that might help some.

                      if your wanting to do hardcore logging like that, you would have to probably spend some crazy amount of money on an expensive corporate wifi router. it would be too much of a hassle to log all of the packets and then try and dig through them for info.

                      if you cant switch your network over to some form of WEP or other misc. form of encryption then I dont really know how much or how little you could do to keep your neighbors off.
