all you need to do is set up a password to keep neighbors out with wifi. i don't like hardwired aside from my desktop, want to be able to use where i please.
you don't know you're wearing a leash if you sit by the peg all day..

Yep, WPA2-PSK is quite enough to keep neighbors off your network.

i recently had a neighbor jump on to my router because my router admin page had no password, they got into that somehow and got my router password. they used up almost 100 gigs before i realized it. i wish i knew who it was. i don't live in an apartment so there are only a few suspects.

Check your router logs. Sometimes you may recognize the rogue neighbor by his computer/phone name.
On the other hand, if he was able to access your admin control panel, he was able to crack your WiFi protection too. I mean, he must be connected to your router via WiFi to go 192.168.1.1 on it.

yeah i wasn't sure how he managed to access it. all i know is once i created a password for the router admin page and changed the password for the wifi, the usage stopped. i find it hard to believe anyone living close to me possesses the skills to break into routers, it wasn't a simple password i was using but who knows i guess.

I'd be more worried that he was accessing the dark corners of the internet if you know what I mean. Guess who the party van would pay a visit to if that was the case and it was being monitored? Let's just say it wouldn't be your neighbor...

yeah i know. i said basically that to my internet provider that i wanted it noted that this happened in case they were accessing illegal shit but they just shrugged it off.

They'll check the router logs and find out which exactly MAC addresses were active at that time. Then they will raid the neighbors if needed. That's not a rare story for 'em actually

Oh, I know they will. However, in the mean time it might be a giant pain in the ass, not to mention a reputation destroyer. People tend not to forget shit like that, even if it works out ion your favor.
