So there's a teenager who lives next to our house with sort of a negative change of events that happened to him. In third grade I used to hang out with him and learn to rollerblade (he's two grades above me), but then he started smoking in sixth grade and stopped visiting.
He was suspended at one point for threatening to slit someone's throat in high school, he bought a dirt bike and rides it up and down our street in the middle of the night, and supposedly is involved in a gang and smokes weed. He lost his license for reckless driving. Wonderful child, right?
The police were recently investigating their house because a number of different cars kept pulling into the driveway and leaving several minutes after. A few other families hosted a pumpkin carving contest two days ago and a van was outside on the curb at one point in the afternoon, and someone was on the phone inside the car after a different vehicle left several minutes ago (we suspected it was the parents; they don't seem to care jack **** for their son). Then the van pulled up the driveway, a passenger and the driver each got a cardboard box from the house, and left.
Now here's the interesting part. Half an hour ago I was playing Team Fortress 2 in a Valve server and when I checked my ping on the player list, it was around 30. Then suddenly my computer fan started spinning loudly and the blinking light thing began to flash so fast the color became a solid. My ping went to 700, and then to 950.
I quit because the performance was becoming unbearable and checked the router, and it sending out hundreds of thousands of bytes of data. I know I wasn't downloading anything, and the CPU usage was at 90% trying to process whatever files it was getting.
We have a single router with two connections, a private setting and a connection for guests, which I told my parents might be a bad idea, but they kept it anyway. Because I know how much of a suspicious past the teenager might have, I'm considering disabling the guest connection, because I know it could be accessable from the computer in their house, and he could be downloading porn or God-knows-what.
Of course, now the memory stopped hitting itself in the head as bad now, but what do you think, because I don't know much about internet network sharing and how data could slow down a computer if its being shared by two different computers. Thanks for the feedback.
Its like going to a police station telling them how you stole a purse and demonstrating it, while arguing the benefits of it. You'd still go to jail because you're an idiot.
Judgemental? The poor kid probley has a ton of problems, and you get one lag spike and instantly think he is stealing stuff? Sure, hes an idiot for doing some stuff, but like you pointed out, HES A KID!

If you read properly you would know he is now in 11th grade (high school), and I'm in 9th. I also said he had a license, then he lost it. :dry.gif:

Only problem is finding out how to get rid of the connection without screwing up the secured one...

Well I would say you're just assuming things. However what I would do is to disable that guest thing on your router and see how your internet is for the next couple of days to see whether or not it was really someone else messing up your ping or not.

Go check out some of my suggestions on my profile, in the about me tab!

I read the entire thing. Last time I checked, 11th grade is considered a kid. Im not patting him on the back and calling him a good boy, but seriuslly?
if I had access to his house I'd shove my USB into his computer and let it sit for a couple of minutes. it force formats the C: drive so that would teach him not to **** with my connections
Secure your wireless network. Use WPA2 encryption (WEP can be cracked in minutes). Remember that not broadcasting your SSID does nothing to help secure it. Shut off the guest connection, it's a ridiculously stupid idea.
Yeah, we use a WPA2 for the main connection, but of course the guest one has no security at all. ._. I'll try and play around with some plugs and settings. Maybe I can secure both of them?

I dount hes a kid the term is adolescent and it is possible he could be doing stuff
Doubtful thats its illegal stuff but there is the slight possibility but like... extremely low so i wouldn't worry about it unless it started happening more frequently and worse. There is also the possibility that it isn't him as well.
i dont no im not a idoit im a feelfoam eeeeeeeeeeeeee

Yeah, having an unsecured wireless connection is just asking for trouble. I don't know if your neighbor is causing problems but you shouldn't have an unsecure wifi network up anyway. Not only can he leech your internet but it makes the computers on your network more vulnerable.

It's probably CRAZY RUSSIAN PORN, or something illegal anyway.
Leaving it up is NOT a good idea, if he is up to illegal stuff; you'll be a suspect.
