I use Wireless Mon 3.0 to look at whats going on wireless around my
neighborhood. Mostly to see if I can get on an unused channel.

This guy next door follows me to every channel I go to. I do not have
my router auto selecting channels.

I run WPA2 Personal AES with a 64 character shared key.

Why else would his router stay with mine channel wise?

Hide your SSID and make sure you have a solid password.

Solidd password? My shared key is 64 characters long.

I'll try the hidden thing.

Hello TheRock,

Also check your router's network filter settings to see if you can turn
on "MAC filtering" so that you can only allow a MAC address from the
computers you want to have access to the network.

Hope this helps,
Shawn

Hi
The fact that is using the same channel means nothing what so ever.
Infrastructure Router can not connect to another Router, and Client Wireless
computer adapt automatically to any channel so what ever is Router is On is
irrelevant.
Do not touch your SSID since the only thing that it would is destabilized
your Wireless.
With WPA2_AES you are secured. If this guy could brake WPA he would be in
big demand for big bucks by the top security companies and will have time to
deal with your network

Thanks Jack,

I'm curious why his router follows my channel numbers around. There are
several others near by that must be auto scanning channels because they
are all (4 of them) on channel 6.
By looking him over I see is unsecured and uses a Linksys WRT150N.

Hi
Routers can not follow other devices channels.
If there is Auto channel it related to the Router's Wireless capacity to
switch channels auto and stop at the one with the strongest connection that
is established with a Wireless capable computer.
There are many Wireless' advice posts on the Internet that suggest to people
to switch from the crowded Channel 6 to less crowded channels and it might
be that your neighbor follows this advice too.

I hear you and understand. And my original question is he hacking me is
in refference to he goes to what ever channel I go to. I find this VERY
strange. If I go from 5 to 1 he will be there in a few minutes to an
hour, it never fails. No matter where I go he goes. Strange if you ask
me.
Heh!

Hello TheRock,

Did you also check your router's network filter settings to see if you
can turn on "MAC filtering" yet? You can use it to allow MAC addresses
from only the computers you want to have access to the network. No other
computer can gain access with this setup unless manually allowed by you.

Hope this helps,
Shawn

How can I tell if someone is tapping into my wireless network?
I can see another network 0L2W8 when I ask to connect to network.
Are they going online off my bandwith? cause it seems real slow lately
