how to enable monitor mode in windows 11

Hello!

I'm a beginner in Wireshark. I tried to monitor my network to capture packets from my smartphone by capturing eapol and http packets. Of course i failed because after some investigation I found out that my wifi (802.11n) does not support monitor mode.

Please guide me to how I can enable monitor mode and capture eapol and http packets.

Also I read an answer that said - "Don't do monitor mode capture on Windows unless you are using special software, such as Omnipeek, CommView, etc."

Can someone please explain the reason?

Thank you.
