I have few neighbors around me and far to few of them could probably even power a computer on, much the less use one. I usually always set the mac filter to only allow connections from mac addresses I list/add. I purchased a new router and forgot to enable mac filtering and today I found that someone has/had connected to that wireless router from a computer/wireless device I do not own.

I was wondering if anyone knows of a decent and/or free traffic monitor that can pull log data from wireless router(the one I am referring to is Linksys WRT54G v.8) and tag IPs, maybe computer names and MAC addresses as well. Thank you.

Obviously not as much fun as watching someone.

I have Mac and I use ProteMac Meter, it's a network traffic logger. I guess, you can somehow use it in wireless network, however it's for Mac OS only :(
