Unknown Device Connected
According to my WNR2000v3 admin pages there is an unknown device connected. The MAC address of the unknown device does not match any of the devices I own including the DSL modem and the router itself...
It's best to use the device access list in addition to your password. The device access list allows you to specify the MAC address of each device that's allowed access to your network. This works as a two way security. If someone knows you network password it wont matter if their MAC address is not listed on you device access list. Dont forget to backup your settings so that you can recover everything in the event the router gets a factory reset (my teenager has done this before!).
