Any one know how to check, or is there a log, of what computers have been connected to your router?
-
Depending what routers but some log most dont and even if they did all they would log is the computer name and ip address maybe the mac address.

Most routers don't log anything. You can set up an external log on your computer with some routers, though.

You can also look at your DHCP table on your router to see who's currently connected at any given time without that program. Personally, I'd be using another computer running Linux for routing and logging and just use the router as a WAP if I cared more. I just don't -

Most of the residential routers have limited logging functions. Some of the SMB class routers give you more options.
If you look a the DHCP log it will give a computer/user name. So you may reconise a users that is not on your system. Some of the wireless routers will have a table of wireless clients that are currently connected. -

My router does log everything. (Linksys WRT54GS).
Of course my no one has yet to break into my super secure network!
-WPA Personal
-AES/CCMP Encryption
-Mac Address Filtering On, only devices with their mac addresses listed in setup can access it.
-Default Administration Password Changed
-SSID Changed
-SSID Not Transmitted -
well, it could still be brute forced if someone cared enough... but at least you're proactive about things.
