wifi security
hi,
A friend of mine lives in the apartment building, she was thinking someone was using her wifi. The following is the setup
NETGEAR C3700
SSID : visible
pwd: wap2
When I looked at the connected devices, there was one "iphone4" (there was no one using iphone4 in the house. I know sometimes the name of the device is not accurate as well). but there were only 5 known devices in the house.
So I changed the pwd, and blocked iphone4. After a day, this iphone4 showed up again but showed "blocked" next to it since I have blocked the access but the device can still connect to the router just no internet.
What is the step I can take at this point? Also I turned on remote access on C3700, but it only work for a few days, sometimes just one day. After that, I could not remote in, router had to be rebooted again, is this normal? thanks

I can't tell, I don't know any router model. Please do as advised.
I think that is just an entry from the Access Control that shows (I have a Netgear too) and does not mean it is active or trying to connect.

I see, so is there a way to see who/what is currently connecting to the router? thaks
Yes there is and you already have it in front of you. Devices that are blocked are blocked - what more do you want.

Well, why disable WPS? You assume that Iphone4 guy has access to their appartment, Ramin? Otherwise this is not needed.
