Troubleshooting Wireless Network Issues: Tips and Tricks

[Chromium]

1) Is there a way to view a log of who has been using my wireless network? I went to my router's configuration page, and there was a Log section under Administration tab, but I couldn't find a log.

2) I can't find the installation CD for my router, is it possible to set up a password for my network via the configuration page?

3) I recently set up a new desktop in my house, but the Internet is incredibly slow (AVG was downloading @ approx. 80 kb/s). Is there something I can purchase to boost the signal from the router?

Thanks,

--Jonathan
