I've been visiting my family, and I've noticed that the Wi-Fi in their house is extremely slow. I've lived here long enough to know when the connection is unusually weak. I suspect someone might be using our Wi-Fi without permission. Does anyone know how I can check if there's an unauthorized user on our network?

To check connected devices, just connect to your Wi-Fi and type 192.168.1.1 in your web browser. Log in (typically the username and password are both 'admin'), then look for a section that lists all connected devices. This should help you identify any unauthorized users.
Honestly, if you're worried about security, changing your Wi-Fi password is the simplest fix. Just do it!
You can log into your router's settings to see all the devices connected to your Wi-Fi. From there, if you notice any unfamiliar devices, you can change the Wi-Fi password to kick them off.
Try accessing your router's connection history. That can give you a good idea of what's been connected.
Changing your password is necessary to prevent any unauthorized access. You might want to do that as soon as possible!
