1. with the power off on all pc's, and the modem and router on, you will see activity constantly on the modem and the router's wan port attached to the modem.
You should not see any lights on the ports the pc's use with them off.

2. Read the book, and check the mfg's website to see if they have
utilities for monitoring the router. Usually there are logs of connections available in the router when you log into it. the
manual should explain that. More details can sometimes be pulled out of the router with a utility, some of which are free, some are $$$.
