Lately I've been noticing some disturbing "changes" in my connectivity on my wireless laptop and my mothers desktop PC. We're both experiencing supicious frequent losses of connectivity between the hours of 7-8am, 3-6pm and 9-12pm. I have a really horrible feeling someone has hacked into our wireless network and might be piggybacking on our connection and downloading but am absolutely too novice to know where to begin in looking it up.

What's the best "guide" to check the modem logs (or whatever they would be called) for a girl who isn't even moderately intermediate with wireless networking? I really want to get this sorted out and find out if it's true because the connection is shocking and on 10mb it shouldn't take twenty minutes to download a 2.4mb png file. Can't even stream movies from lovefilm without having to buffer every ten seconds...
