"In this clip we're going to learn how to detect wireless bandwidth theft. I'm not employed by or affiliated with any of the web sites or products demonstrated today. One of the first steps would be to go to your control panel, open up your network icon, and check and see who is logged on to your network at that point in time. Another thing you could do would be to download one of the many programs on the internet that looks at bandwidth usage.

If you see that your computer slowed down and you're trying to prevent bandwidth theft, maybe it would be wise to look for some help from professionals.

And that's how you detect wireless bandwidth theft."
