Turn on promiscuous mode wireshark6/11/2023 ![]() Not particularly useful when trying to use an 802.11 over-the-air capture to troubleshoot. There are wifi adapters with some drivers that support monitor mode but do not support promiscuous mode (no matter the setting) so never pass unicast traffic for other hosts up to be captured. However, typically, promiscuous mode has no effect on a WiFi adapter in terms of setting the feature on or off. See for more details on 802.11 and promiscuous mode.Īssuming you are using some form of WPA encryption (WPA2 or WPA3, say, as you should be.) your adapter won't have the unicast keys from other hosts so can not decrypt the traffic anyway.
