I have a Netcom modem NB5 plus 4W with Airport Express plugged in.
The Netcom has a signal (very weak) so I don't use but is broadcasting as I can't turn off. No instructions in how. It has WPA password.
The Express has WEP password as it dies when I use a WPA one.
As to usage..probably access utube once a month for a couple of videos..many months not at all.

Don't download music or movies. My husband watches news videos fairly often. Otherwise it's email and web pages. This month went over 5mb by 25th

Unlikely to be the case if you have your wireless password protected but quite possible if it isn't. First thing you want to do is log into your router and set up a password for your wireless network if you haven't already. If you have one but your still concerned then you can change your password. You can probably see what computers are connected to your router from your router login or you may be able to have a look at your usage patterns from your isp login if they provide this feature.

Stuff like youtube can use a surprising amount of data quite rapidly.

I think someone is using our wireless connection. Our usage has rocketed up

How do I know? How do I stop it?
