| Sep 21, 2016 at 6:59 | comment | added | Bakuriu | @NVZ He was asking because if you were using WEP you can assume that all your neighbourhood has access to your wifi and thus it's normal to see extraneous MAC addresses. | |

| Sep 21, 2016 at 2:09 | comment | added | NVZ | @jpmc26 I tell my friends and relatives the password while they're here. I use the WPA2-PSK / AES type. My question is, what are these unknown MAC addresses, and are they the cause for the slow internet? Also see my first comment here and here | |
| Sep 20, 2016 at 21:22 | comment | added | jpmc26 | Also, what's the information security component here? The basic question here seems to be "slow network speeds." That seems much more like a superuser.com question. | |
| Sep 20, 2016 at 21:14 | comment | added | jpmc26 | "I tell them the WiFi password; WPS is disabled." Then what kind of authentication scheme are you using? WEP? Something else? | |
| Sep 20, 2016 at 19:37 | comment | added | MonkeyZeus | Does the router support bandwidth monitoring per device or even all traffic within a timeframe? If I am not mistaken then this router is a DSL router and DSL is known to be naturally slow. If you are using it as a 3G router then it is possible that the cell phone tower might be having issues. | |
| Sep 20, 2016 at 19:25 | comment | added | NVZ | No, I'm not aware of any such things on my network. | |
| Sep 20, 2016 at 18:18 | comment | added | V.Hedman | Are you using VirtualBox (for example) and do you have any virtual machines in your laptop? Virtual machines could explain extra mac addresses even after changing passwords. | |
