Is there any way to tell if someone is piggy-backing on my wireless
connection other than noticing a slowdown.
Is there an application that would detect it. Thanks.

With that said the real key is using strong encryption like WPA2/WPA and a
long random key. Personally I protect my home wireless network with WPA-PSK
(AES) and use a 63-character random ASCII key.
