Capture WiFi and Ethernet packets
You can capture WiFi and Ethernet packets that are received and transmitted by the
access point and save the file with captured packets to your computer. During the packet
capture process, normal functioning of the access point is not affected.
The packet capture capability can be useful for analyzing a WiFi deployment, monitoring
a WiFi network, debugging protocols, determining WiFi network bottlenecks, and, in
general, troubleshooting any irregularities in a WiFi network.
You can select to capture all packets or selected packets only.
Note: To view the captured packets, you need an application that can open
.pcap
files.
To capture packets:
1. Launch a web browser from a computer that is connected to the same network as
the access point or directly to the access point through an Ethernet cable or WiFi
connection.
2. Enter the IP address that is assigned to the access point.
A login window displays.
