Neighbor Steeling My WiFi??? Maybe....

Is there a SIMPLE way to tell if a neighbor has helped themselves to my WiFi??? No, nobody knows my password. My tower now always shows 6 devices….but here is my list of devices: 1 laptop, 3 TV's and 1 Smartphone that is usually off. My tower used to show 4 devices which was correct, but now it shows 6 devices. Should I be suspicious????

  • This might help you. Someone wrote something similar on another thread that it might be an old tv, phone, or device that you once had connected. But I would strongly suggest you change your wifi password to a more difficult one and reconnect your devices then see what happens. 

    My problem is similar yet different. All of the devices except for 1 showing on my app are correct except for 1 that I don't recognize. All of my apps show wifi connections except for the one I don't recognize, which shows as an ethernet connection. I'm trying to find out what device that is. I blocked its connection to the internet but can't find out what the device is. Any suggestions?
