If your modem/router and WAP are combined into a single unit, then you would have to obtain another wireless access point to set this up.

Connect a PC hosting wireshark to the hub, and you'll be able to capture all traffic between router and WAP. A problem youll likely run into is that Wireshark may not display any packets after starting a capture using your existing 802.11 client card, especially if.

One way to capture most of the Ethernet traffic would be to install an Ethernet hub in between the cable/ADSL modem/router and the wireless access point. Beware that some late model "hubs" are actually switches there's a page at the wireshark site that has more info on this topic. If you want to see all the Ethernet frames going by, then your Ethernet port has to be in Promiscuous mode and connected to a hub (not a switch). A host will only receive frames addressed to it or frames that were broadcast or multicast a host will not be able to receive unicast packets not addressed to it once the switch learns the port for that address. Wired 802.3 is typically point-to-point when using switches. Wireless 802.11 is a point-to-multipoint configuration. Promiscuous mode is not what you think it is on a modern Ethernet network that uses a star topology with switches. I re-posted here just because I see there are more Wireshark related answers here than there.
PS: I posted this question on AskUbuntu too, but it not helped me. What I want to achieve is to examine the network traffic of my smartphone using my PC running Wireshark, both connected to the same personal domestic WiFi access point.

If I start browsing with my smartphone, instead, no packet is captured (PC and smartphone are connected to the same domestic WiFi network). Obviously I enabled Promiscuous mode in the capture options dialog.įor example, if I run Wireshark and then surf the web on Firefox, packets are captured. The problem is that only packets sent to and directed to the PC where Wireshark is running are captured. I've installed Wireshark and configured it to let my user run it with all needed privileges (I enabled dumpcap and added my user to wireshark group, then restarted).ĭevices are shown and capture starts well.
