How to Know in 1 Minute if Your Neighbors Are Using Your Wi-Fi (and What to Do About It)

If your router has a companion app (many providers do), open it. Most apps show all connected devices instantly—this takes less than a minute.

What to Do if Someone Is Stealing Your Wi-Fi

Change Your Wi-Fi Password Immediately – Use a strong password with numbers, symbols, and letters.

Enable WPA3 (or WPA2) Security – Never use outdated WEP—it’s easy to hack.

Hide Your Network (Optional) – You can make your Wi-Fi invisible so only people who know the name (SSID) can connect.

Create a Guest Network – If visitors need Wi-Fi, give them a separate login so your main network stays safe.

Why It Matters

Wi-Fi thieves not only slow down your internet—they can also access your personal data if your network isn’t secured.

👉 In less than 1 minute, you can spot intruders and lock them out.
