Alone, Wireshark is not a significant threat. provided that no hubs are used on a network and switches are not attacked (see Macoff) then a user running wireshark will only see traffic from their own host (see micro-segmentation). Wireshark and other packet sniffing programs should only be used by administration staff on networks as traditional users have no legitimate use for them.

Down load and install Wireshark network packet sniffer onto a windows machine. Connect the PC to the same switch that serves the AP. Boot the PC, start Wireshark. Set Wireshark to promiscuous mode and select the NIC device you are using on the PC to connect to the switch from the dropdown menu in Wireshark.
