Recently I downloaded Wireshark, but since then, every time I boot my computer, I can't connect to my router neither by Ethernet nor by Wi-Fi until I start Wireshark. I don't know how to troubleshoot the problem, the only fix I found so far is to uninstall Wireshark.

You're running on Windows with the npcap (1.00) capture library, which is the element that may be affecting your connection. Try downloading the latest version, currently 1.10, and installing that.

If the problems persist, please report the issue at the npcap Github issues page.

I updated npcap and I don't have the problem anymore, thank you! I got the version 1.00 from Wireshark's installer, they should probably include a more recent version with it.

That's already in progress, the next releases of Wireshark will use 1.10, maybe even a newer version if released by npcap in time. We try to balance keeping up to date with the possibility of introducing new issues.
