Have the paid version of Wifi Hotspot and its been great. Hoping someone might know where i can find out who is piggybacking off my hotspot? I havent seen anything in the settings. Maybe someone has seen an app? Thanks in advance for any answers!

You don't have your hotspot secured with WPA? If you are just broadcasting an open hotspot, you are inviting people to hop on. I would highly recommend you secure the connection if you haven't already.

No one will piggyback unless you give them the passcode you set up. The number of connected users is listed within the menus of the VZW Mobile Hotspot app. You can allow anywhere from 1 to 10 in the configuration of a TBolt. In the TBolt it is: Menu, Settings, Wireless and Networks, Mobile Hotspot settings. Not sure about the GNexus, but it's prolly similar.

Here is a screenshot. The hostname of the single laptop connected is "craps". I'm a gambler, so sue me! Unfortunately, what it won't tell you is "this is the cute girl over in the corner near the door".

Ahhhhh....yeah it is a WPA, password protected.
No such setting on the Nexus I know of though. Would be a nice addition IMO.
Thanks for the replies guys!!
