First let me admit and apologize that I'm not tech savvy. For years I've been having security issues with my wireless network. Neighbors and their friends have been sitting near their houses, in their houses and in their cars with computers, and now smartphones, in their hands as they siphon off my network. Whenever this happens my net slows down a lot or I get knock off. I was told because I live on a hill that my signal goes out and they gain access, even if network is password protected.

So I placed my router in a metal box, used only one of its antenna, repeatedly changed passwords and SSID's, hide those ID'S sometimes, and moved daily the router from place to place not near any windows and they still gained access. And to top it all off, someone went in, and still goes in, repeatedly and changed the passwords or the SSID's and I'm blocked out of my own router, even after changing router's admin password. This led me to question my ISP provider on how can someone gain access without my permission or knowledge of password. Answer was that they can't and it must be me or I've given out passwords, neither to both.

I've been powering off the router daily. But whenever I turn it on, no matter what time of day, and I mean literally, there they are. It has happened with the old NETGEAR router and now the SMART RG. There has also been added new networks that I have never seen before. Checked on MAC addresses based on advice from someone and no other from the usual has shown up. So is it the configuration, rogue networks, or something else?

IF ANYONE CAN HELP WITH ANSWERS, IT'LL BE GREATLY, VERY GREATLY APPRECIATED.

Would having a wired connection help? Don't know much about that though.

WiFi is not FM radio, you need both parties to be able transmit and receive so unless you have a wifi antenna literally sitting outside your house it s not going to travel blocks with good signal. If you have the router sitting against the outside wall facing the neighborhood then that might allow your wifi signal to extend 3-4 houses instead of 1-2 at best (yes that is with the understanding that you live on a hill.

Some routers have the ability to turn down power some dont (like the junk the ISP gives you). Just google decrease TX power and your model of router and you will have your answer.

Again though, every router has a list of active clients, so if your router is not reporting any extra devices that are not yours, then you dont have a bunch of people leeching your wifi.

It would take quite a few (like 15-30 simultanious failed attempts to connect to your wifi to make your router slow down your connection.
I dont mean 15 a day, i mean 15 that exact second.

If the problem is actually people failing to connect to your wifi then wired conenction will help
If the wifi radio in your ISP provided modem/router is just a pile of crap, then a wired connection would help
If you actually have people leeching your wifi connection then you are still competing with them for the same limited bandwidth on your DSL connection.
If your DSL conneciton is just really crappy, then your wired connection is still limited to the same crappy internet connection.

By all means though, that would be a good test. Do a speed test on wireless, and then a speed test using wired ethernet

An open port does not allow someone to use your wifi for free.
An open port could allow a hacker to get access to your computer, but open ports and your wifi connection have about as much to do with each other as your home air conditioning and your toilet.

Most all of those ports are completely common ports for common services, all of them are marked as stealth which means that they are not visable to the outside. SPOILER ALERT....no port is automatically viewable from the outside internet connection unless you either manually forward the port in your router, or an applicaiton on your PC is keeping an active connection to allow traffic back through that port. And the super common ones (most all of the ones listed) are blocked by most residential ISP plans anyways (at least in USA).

At this point you are far more likley to make things worse trying to mess with settings you dont understand.



This is my last post on this thread, I have told you what the likely issues are (crappy ISP connection/ or your router) and you refuse to consider them, I have told you to look at your lan client lists multiple times and I have gotten no response on that (I am assuming because it does not show any unknown clients).
At this point since you are asking more advanced networking quesitons/concepts (and before you completely brick your router) then I suggest you get some education and read a network + training book and do some of the online curriculum as well.

Thanks for your patience in dealing with my questions and replies, no matter how silly at times they may appear.
