Everyone seeks to have an Internet connection as stable and fast as possible depending on the possibilities they have where they live and the cost that this may have. Once we already have Internet at home or our business, it is possible to measure the speed of the connection with some online application that we can download. with it we can see the speed, that in certain occasions we can see how it diminishes considerably without knowing the reason.
The reason for this may be that we are stealing the signal.
Yes, although it seems that this may be something complicated to do, the truth is that it is something more common than we imagine. And is that today, there are certain tools that with a certain knowledge, can make using any of the WiFi networks at your fingertips is something simple despite having it protected with a password. Next, we will show some tools with which we can know if someone steals your WiFi and is connecting to your network.
There is a way to know if someone is connected to the WiFi of our Internet network without using any application. It is very simple To do this, simply disconnect all devices that we have connected to it and in the case that the router light that corresponds to the WiFi connection keeps flashing indicating the transmission of data, we can confirm that someone steals our WiFi from home or from our business.
However, there are tools that can verify us in a more comfortable way, since for this we will not have to disconnect each and every one of the devices that we have connected to it. If we have a computer with a Windows operating system, then Wireless Network Watcher is one of the most popular tools. It is an application that is capable of scanning our wireless connection and showing all the devices that are connected to it.
For Mac users, there is another similar tool that also has a version for Windows. We refer to Wireshark, a long-used application to know if we have an intruder who is stealing our WiFi from home.
You can download the WiFi Analyzer-WiFi Alert app from Google Play completely without any
payment.Once the installation on the mobile is finished, simply open it and press the Scan Network button to automatically scan our connection and show us a list of all the devices that are connected to our network. But the application goes a little further, and it also allows us to perform different administration tasks in our WiFi. It is possible to indicate the devices that are trusted, those that are not safe, edit the name or even see certain data from our router, such as the speed it is giving us.
