Network Magic from my company has really helped me stop WiFi Intruders. I have always used Wep security built into my wifi router, but as I have started to add devices other than PC's it was really a pain to use. Plus my daughter's school requires a laptop computer for her homework and so consequently she has friends come over who want to get on the network. So with Network Magic's Intruder alert feature I was able to turn off my wep and have Network Magic monitor my network. When an intruder shows up it alerts me and everyone in the house, log's it in a network log, and shows it on the visual map as an intruder. Once I see an intruder, which have been far and few, I have used my router's MAC Address Filter and Newtwork Magic to enter the address. Network Magic will record the MAC Address even if the intruder has left your network.
