does extenders have a config page?

if so there might be an option in there somewhere :thumbs:

and if you can't access it currently, then switch off your WPA/WEP, change the stuff for the extender (setup up wep/wpa) then switch the security back on the router.

WEP can be cracked in minutes. MAC address filtering isn't much good if he's already mapped your network and knows the MACs of your other authorised clients.

Go to WPA or WPA2 with a decent length key...

WEP is limited, but as said change the MAC rules so only authorised comps can cnnect

on your mac filter, set it so that you have to punch in the mac address of the computer you want to allow to the network.

And yea, i would enable WEP or WPA :thumbs:

I would make sure you block it out!

he could be downloading on your internet and providingyou have useage limits you might hit them and could end up costing you money!

Right this is a starnage question but i need your help.

BAsicly over the last few days a strange IP has been coming up as being connected to my network. Network map from macaffee looks like this

Its the computer thats not named

And this is no computer in my house. Ive got the IP for it and the MAC adress, ive put the MAC address in the wireless filter, but doesnt block it out.

Should i be bothered by it? if so What next?
