Protect your Wi-Fi network from intruders.

Nearly everyone has a Wi-Fi network setup in their home or office. And even though you may have it protected by a password, that doesn’t mean some jerk hasn’t found a way to connect to it without your knowledge. That is where Wireless Network Watcher comes in.
Wireless Network Watcher is a simple tool to use and can let you know if someone is using your network without you being aware of it. Simply open the program and it will scan your network and show you all of the connected devices. Once the scan has completed, it will provide details such as device type, IP address and MAC router.
However, the program is not perfect. During tests, Wireless Network Watcher failed to pick up all devices on the example network. Multiple scans were needed to detect all of the devices. The network used was much larger than one you would probably have in your home or small office, on the other hand. Another downside that we found is that the program is simply a way to look at your network and does not provide any type of warning or any way to kick unwanted users off of your network. Even with its shortcomings, Wireless Network Watcher is a simple program to use and does show you if someone is using your network without your knowledge or permission, allowing you to disable the router for a while, potentially moving them on, or co increase your security and change your password.
