How to determine unauthorized use on wireless internet

Hi there....

I hope i have out this in the right section.... Please forgive me i haven't...

I am wanting to know if there is a way to know if anyone is using your wireless internet...
I have a home network pc 'wired' and laptop 'wireless'.... i'm still new to this and have all of my encryption blah blah..... but i am told it can still happen....
Is there a way of knowing there and then id someone is accessing it?
I live in an area that would not surprise me if this was going on... if you know what i mean....

Thank's in advance....

Re: How to determine unauthorized use on wireless internet

Enable WPA encryption with a strong key, and I can assure you that nobody will be using the wireless network.

You can check the wireless connection status in the router's configuration pages to see what connections are in use.
