You can go into the network and change this key.
I assume you share this with someone that now has the key. |

There should be a place where you can restrict the mac addresses of computers/devices on your network. That's where you throw them off or deny them access!
Securing your network with a passwork is also a good idea.
What type of router are you using?

I agree once you enable a password.....BAM that person is kicked off and cant get in to your network/wireless router anymore. |

| There is a way in most routers of listing the current connections... You should be able to pull the rug out from under them from there. To keep them off you would need a WEP/WPA or MAC filter. |

Log into your wireless router from your web browser
On my linksys wrt54g there is a tab labeled 'status' and a 'table' button on that page that brings up a list of those logged on. there are check boxes and a delete button.
I assume most routers are similar.

Do not use WEP as it's a broken protocal.
But as others have suggested just change your password. Another option is to disabled DHCP so you aren't automatically handing out IPs. You should also be able to limit your concurrent connections. Therefor if you know only 2 people should be on the network, just limit it to 2. All these will help but your best bet is to change your password. |

you can also restrict by MAC address. this is quite effective at limiting the devices that can connect, and has an added benefit of being completely transparent to the client (i.e. connecting device) so devices that don't support encryption or passwords can still connect.

try rebooting your router so as anyone on there will be kicked off,then as soon as reboot is complete,change or make a connection setting name,then make or change a password,and make sure you keep it encrypted(no-one but you will see it).
hope this helps |

Here is the answer. Thanks for the help Chris and everybody else. I didn't realize I had this app on my computer. I have a Linksys WRT110 Rangeplus.

But to avoid future problems make the router only accesible by you, hide the network ID, encrypt the hell out of the communication and use MAC address filtering or assign IP adresses.

The MAC address filter works best, I agree. You dont want people to be pinging your network trying to get access (hack). The best way is to reject any such requests right away by having a MAC address based filter. |
