I own a townhouse. I know all of my neighbors. My Cisco wireless router died. No big deal, I bought another one. I set up the new one up with the same SSID and WPA2 password. The difference with the new one is I could now see the activity lights.
After I set it up, I checked all of my wireless devices (8 total) and they were all working fine. Later on I noticed my 2.4GHz band seemed really active. I thought I must be getting an update on one of my devices. The activity continued and I thought, what the heck is going on. I pulled up a network map and there are 10 devices connected to my wireless router. I thought, what device am I missing. I even checked the MAC address of all my devices. I wasn't missing any. There were 2 devices connected to my WiFi that I didn't recognize.
I changed the WPA2 password on my router. Then changed the WPA2 password on my 8 wireless devices. Now when I pulled a network map up I get 8 devices connected. Some body, obviously one of my neighbors was tapped into my WiFi.
