Solve : Does using wireless track activity??

Answer»

Will using the home wireless from a phone or laptop track the activity to the computer? If so, where? THANKS. Are you looking to track the activity of the Wireless devices, or the wired ones?

I'm assuming the computer you've mentioned is wired into a WiFi router on a ADSL broadband connection.

The short anwser is: probably not.

The long answer is: maybe, depending on how the network is setup.

If you're looking to set something up, please let us know more about exactly what you're trying to achive.it will track a lap but maybe not your phone depending on how your SECURITY is set up, you are trying to prevent tracking on your phone and lap, correct???.........................gettingthereGood evening mej0709 and welcome to CH

If I am understanding your question correct you are wondering if anyone (your ISP)(Cell phone company) is tracking you and if so how?

If you are hooking your laptop thru your cellphone (like tethering) then chances being "yes you are" most smart phones have a GPS CHIP and IMEI most cell phone companies will tell you that you are NOT being tracked but they can do it and if court ordered can do so.

If you are not running the laptop thru your cell phone and your laptop is on your home network like connected to your home router and that goes to your (ISP's) cable / DSL modem well once again yes they can but only while you are on your home network and really you are not physically moving anywhere they can track all web sites, files downloaded etc. All ISP's have to keep track off every customer because if they are Court ordered they have to turn the info over to the courts.

If you are using your home wireless network for SURFING the internet with your cell phone than the same hold true about the above with the ISP (internet provider) will still keep track of what web sites, files downloaded etc. The ISP will also know it was done with a cell because of the IMEI which is uniquely identifiable to each cell phone.

Well I hope this helps to answer your questions and hopefully doesn't make you to paranoid.
