i keep changing the name of the wireless router and passwords but they still manage to get in as soon as the ps3 is setup for wireless.
i have the ssid hidden now as well so how the hell are they getting my routers name and password to use my wifi.
i have changed the routers name again and it has stopped them for now but if i go setup the ps3 there back.
do i need to setup the security on the ps3 to stop them getting in?
"they"?
What form of encryption are you using? If it's WEP, then that's likely why.
Set up MAC address filtering on the router.
Easy to Spoof, but it all helps.Originally Posted by scaryjim
You really need to make sure you're using a minimum of WPA (ideally WPA2) with a 'random' non-dictionary password.
on the router its wpa/wpa2 wireless security enhanced, its the best its got.
the router is a dlink dir 615 and had no software with it when i had it i just log in to the router and change the settings.
when you say's it's being "hacked", what exactly is happening? Is your router showing non-authorised machines connected to your network, or are you just getting sucky performance?
Maybe it's your PS3 which might look like it's someone else, but it's just you!

that's what i thought at first but the wireless activity light is still flashing when the ps3 has no power so its not that using it and its the only thing wireless using my router.Maybe it's your PS3 which might look like it's someone else, but it's just you!
Ive tried resetting my passwords again and router name and within 10 Min's of getting the ps3 online there using it again as the wireless light is still flashing and the ps3 is turned of with no power.
how are they getting my router name and password from the ps3 as if i don't set it up for using the wireless i have no problems with wireless activity or use.
been getting this for 4 days now had no problems before with the ps3 and wireless so some sod is doing it
is there anything i can use to trace where they are as id like to download my fist in to there face
WEP is virtually useless, WPA1/TKIP is also vulnerable, but takes more work to break. Use WPA2/AES to correctly protect yourself and your network.
Just because they are showing on your list, doesn't mean they have authenticated on your network.
Most routers will show people trying to obtain an IP on their devices list, even if not validated.
Are you 100% sure they actually have a full connection to your router? What are they showing up as?
from what i can see its 00:1d:0d:89:53:78 no host name in the dhcp client list.What are they showing up as?
Ive changed the passwords to WPA2/AES and entered new ones even longer now so ill give that a go and see if that keeps the out.
That MAC is a Sony device. Likely a PS3. Likely yours.
If you follow the instructions at http://www.technipages.com/ps3-find-mac-address.html is that the same MAC?
Once it's authenticated it will still show in the stations list for some time, even if switched off.
nope i have 2 computers and a ps3 on my box that is no 4 and no 5 is 5c:59:48:21:af:4b host id none.That MAC is a Sony device. Likely a PS3. Likely yours
That MAC is an iPhone. Got one of them?
no i don't have one. the only thing i have wireless is the ps3That MAC is an iPhone. Got one of them?
block that MAC then, don't think the iPhone can change it's MAC easily.
