This tool will let you see whats/whos on your network: http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/wireless_network_watcher.html

If you stream alot of media,your router will get laggy over time,I reboot every few days and do a save config, factory reset monthly+ and put the config file back in.It definitely helps.
