Maybe, you mean WRT54G. If so, then you can use Wallwatcher to track traffic
to/from the LAN by machines as to what remote IP(s) are being contacted and
what LAN IP(s)/machines are doing it. This will be done for you in real
time and if someone has hacked your network, you should be able to see the
activity. You'll have to use one one of the 3rd party firmwares that works
with the 54G and Wallwatcher that being mentioned in the link.

You should enable WEP again.

One thing you might want to do in your wireless security is disable the DHCP
server on the router and only use static IP(s).

The link below explains some secuirty tip(s).
