Any Help getting rid of intruder on my network.

Hi All,

I need a bit of advice / help here. I have a home network setup and just this pass week there has been an intruder in my network. I was using the Mac filtering for my wifi devices, so I don't know how this intruder,computer/device go in. I tried a few thing with the wifi security but this person/intruder still shows up. Right now he's off line. I know this because of a program that I have installed on my computer lets me see all devices on my network. The intruder doesn't show a mac address, only his IP and subnet mask. Also his Ram which is 2816 mb's. If at all possible, can someone help me with this problem?

Thank in advance!

First off, something like this should have been posted in, Fun and Foo.

For your home network, just use some type of wireless encryption.

If you were using a shared network key, you would have never had to post this...

Using MAC addresses make no sense.

Sorry about that, I didn't know where this was to be posted. First time having this problem. I am using a passphrase now wireless encryption Authentication Type: WPA

Even after I set that up, the intruder still showed on my network.

 use wpa 2 encription and change password ..

hide ur ssid...

.chance default admin password.

.make sure ur wifi software is up to date..

Moved. Please don't make duplicate threads.

Thanks for the help guys!

prince64717, if I hide SSID, how would my other devices on my network find it?b Just asking,

Cut off the cable that is connected to your wifi router.

problem solved.

LOL, also you could unplug your printer

 u have to manually type SSID on the wireless devices u own...

its simple just change ur ssid then check the hide ssid option in router..(hope u know this ) then on ur wireless device lets say ur phone or laptop..search for hotspot..u will see SSID name hidden device ..click on it ..then type ur ssid..then if u using any encryption it will ask for password..

Most of the WiFi hacking tools show the hidden networks too. If your using wpa and its still showing up I doubt its an intruder.. 

yes in backtrack it will take 5 min to find out the hidden ssid...its just an extra layer of protection..better to use wpa2..
