I have a wifi issue in a remote office.
I notice now that when I install Wireshark on Windows it gives me an option to install USB Pcap. With the usb pcap can I capture wifi air traffic promiscuously, if I use any USB wifi adapter? I thinking of rushing out to source a 802.11abgnac USB adapter for this purpose. I don't have a Windows laptop with an adequate on-board wifi adapter that I can capture traffic with.
Apple Mac will allow me to capture traffic but I don't have any spare.
I need to capture all traffic on the air as I suspect external interference is causing clients to have issues which is then causing roaming. After roaming, the issue comes back again causing a roam back to the original AP. These are assumptions based on the experiences and need to capture traffic to prove it.
