Solve : Network Users?

Answer»

I have a wireless network set up in my house. Right now it is configured for open access and I dont want to turn on encryption. How can I monitor who is using my network/ logged on? Also, can I kick them off my network at my discretion?

ThanksYou obviously do not read the news nor pay ATTENTION to anything the manual says.
Be stupid at your own RISK, but here are a few pointers;

1. Use MAC address filtering to determine what wireless NICs gain access
2. Set the router to have each Wireless device not see other wireless devices.Thanks for answering the question.

Only one person lives close enough to me to use my router, I do not care if they do.

Could someone please offer some useful help?

Thanks.Quote from: Sean on May 18, 2007, 08:54:54 PM

Umm...what hardware have you got?This should be good...Quote

Mind giving me your creditcard number, then? Ive got a linksys router, I can be more specific later, if necessary.

And on another note: I'm sorry, but I'm not very fluent in sarcasm.A linksys router?
There are more then one linksys routers.
But white the one I have you can just type the ipaddress of the router in your Internet browser to GET to the security settings.
Then you can click the advanced tap and click wireless.
Then you click the "edit access list" tap and then you should have the MAC filter settings.

Jonas Why exactly do you not want to ENCRYPT your DATA...? If you do not secure your network, you cannot control who uses it, nor complain about it when they do.
