Can anyone recommend a program that lists who is accessing the internet

Router set up in my apartment, and I have a slight suspicion that
someone living in the apartment next to me is accessing the internet
through my connection. The connection is provided to us by the
apartment, and they have a sort of quota system in place.

I don't exactly know what kind of program I'm looking for. I just need
something that will either log who/what uses my router, or just reject
anyone not on my network.

I agree with William, if you have your traffic encrypted with WPA or WPA-PSK
with nonsense passphrase, I doubt that someone outside your allowed group is
accessing your router. Still, it doesn't hurt to make sure that your
router's web menu is password protected. If it is not and the router's web
menu does not hide your passphrase, then someone may indeed be surfing the
net via your connection.
