1. - If an ISP provided you with the router or a combo set (such as router & WAN box), you dont need to update firmware as the ISP do this already. Also some of the ISP's do not allow you to update their routers firmware if its not a personally purchased router. Also if you have a personal router the ISP will mark your acct saying so. So other employee's of the ISP company know that you are not running an official ISP provided router but a personal one. Which means most times they will not give you support or just give you very basic support, because its not the ISP officially supplied router when you signed up for their service. The provided router which the ISP official router maintains and update automatically. If you supply your own router you will be responsible for anything that happens on the network not the ISP. Also some ISP's do not allow personal purchased routers, not all but some do not allow it for obvious reasons. These are things you have to be aware of, because it can result in violation of the TOS ("Terms Of Service") and you can either get a warning for 1st offense & even completely banned. I personally have experienced this 3 times so far, this is why I mentioned this.

Although time consuming I list all my devices and mac addresses. The two columns are entered on Excel type documents so that either column can be clicked for numerical or alphabetical order. Makes it easier if your router only lists mac addresses of clients.

The hackers even telling me somebody else owns my hotspot the worst part is this person's my neighbor it doesn't happen anywhere except when I'm at home
So how exactly can we fix our network once it has been comprised?
1. Update router firmware 1:00 2. Change the network name 1:52 3. Admin username & password 2:23 4. WPA2 & disable WPS pin 2:54 5. Which device is connected to my Wi-Fi? 6. Guest Wi-Fi (enable for guests at home)

Thanks, made me get off my arse and make those changes, it is just so easy to be lazy and sorry for it when things go wrong. Fixed. 😀
You forgot to mention how important it is to use a long and random WPA2. Almost all routers that I have seen use an extremely short, usually digit-only, password.

@TwstedTV

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a network management protocol used to automate the process of configuring devices on IP networks, thus allowing them to use network services such as DNS, NTP, and any communication protocol based on UDP or TCP. Do not mess with this as ISP's use this for your router to assign its IP. If you do not know the in's and out's of networking and you do not have a dedicated DHCP server in your home, do not tamper with this as it will cause more headaches than you want.

reset your router to factor defaults and start again with a very strong password or get a new router that they have never had access to before. Make sure you run full anti virus/ malware checks on every device including cell phones and tablets.

You need to login to your router admin online- the IP address is usually something like 192.168.1- you will find this info. from your router/ wifi provider.
I recently found out that someone connected an additional router to my internet connection. This was discovered by my ISP, because I was having trouble connecting a new security device. I was surprised when the rep told me about the router, because it didn’t show up on the “connected” devices list on my end, but the rep could see it. They disabled I, but I noticed that my internet is lagging again. Can people who steal WIFI hide or mask their devices, if so, is there a way for me to prevent this?
Wow there were 12 trackers all associated with Google what the heck one way or another all of them!
if can't help.then what is the point of check and acting like safety ??

Because we live in a rural area we are limited to satellite internet which is very expensive. We are not very tech savvy, but I can read. However our 26 year old son who still lives at home is. It seems that we are NEVER able to connect to the internet at home. We can at the shop which is all on the same property. But at home we can never connect. So we are forced to use our data on our cell phones. I called the ISP to come and see what the problem was and what they found was that our son was "hard wiring" the internet signal straight to his room and by-passing the router somehow by using a device that uses the electrical outlets to transmit the signal or something. This left us with only 2-4Mgs to share between the other 3 of us while he got the rest to play his games. This went all over me and his little network got disconnected. When he came and questioned me as to why all his stuff was disconnected. I confronted him about what we found out about his setup, he became very defensive and told me to never ask for his help with any technical issues again that I could just call that guy. On the bright side, our internet connection seemed to improve, for a few days anyway. Until something called a Wi-fi pineapple showed up now it seems were back to having the same problems again. My question is this... Is it possible that he is using the "pineapple" as yet another underhanded way to hog the internet signal without being detected.
