Just happened to be looking at the network backup settings one on my (non-wireless-connected) machines, and noticed a "new to me" device showing up on the network - it was a Blackberry "something or other" with a MAC address (which unfortunately I forgot to write down) and no other info, but no Blackberry devices have ever been used here and I've never seen (or at least noticed) anything like that on the network before!!
Looks like someone "sniffed out" the Wireless AES PSK code (which was not a simple one, although it was the one that the Router was set to use when I bought it new) and so I've now had to completely change that on the Router upstairs and then on the Access Point downstairs - and now I have to change 2 tablets, 2 phones, a couple of laptops, and several Sat Rxs with wireless dongles (and possibly a couple of other units)
Any sugguestions for preventing a reoccurence of something like this?
Thanks in advance.
