Any unauthorized user of your Wi-Fi is dangerous and can be a potential hacker looking to potentially steal data — even your neighbor who is just 'borrowing' your Wi-Fi.

or anything else that uses a lot of data, your connection is sure to slow even more.

They also may have access to files saved on your devices that are connected to that Wi-Fi, plus more experienced hackers can end up getting into the devices that are on the network. That means the information you input is no longer secure or private. You are also losing out on the Wi-Fi connection you pay good money for if someone else is stealing that connection. To avoid all of the issues above, be sure to check if someone is on your network. This first step works out if you don't have too many devices connected to your Wi-Fi router. If you have five or fewer devices on your Wi-Fi, this is a good method.

Then, check your router to see if there's any activity happening. If you still notice that there are flickering lights, someone is likely on your network. You can log in to your network's app or online IP address to check what devices are connected. If you have a physical router, follow the steps on the back or bottom of it to log in online and then look at the devices that are on your network.

So you've used any of the above methods, and now you want to kick the stranger off your Wi-Fi. How do you do that? When following the above steps, you should be able to block, ban or, at the very least, delete any unknown devices or users on your Wi-Fi network.
