So when we first installed our router 3 or more years ago, my family didn't put a password on it because we didn't know how. And since then, one neighbor has been mooching off of our internet. Last summer, that became two. And we tried everything to get them to stop, and finally put a password on our router. But that didn't hold out the moochers. On my laptop's local network listing, I saw about 5 different listings for our family network... the same name, but with "...1", "...2", "...3" etcetera noted after it... it appeared as though our network fragmented somehow! (could this be true??) we shut off our internet for a week or two, turned it on again, reinstalled another password, and still moochers kept mooching! even as i am on the internet, there are three laptops mooching somewhere in my neighborhood, and the internet is really slow. Can anyone suggest anything to help me? What's going on? We called the router company for assistance last summer about a million times, and yet the problem persists (plus, warranty is up, so we can't call anymore...)

help! help! :O
