Monitor device

I am new to using wireshark.

I have a device which is connected to the internet, it receives time information. I would like to monitor the packets going to and from the device. How can I setup wireshark (if I can) on my PC to monitor the external device?

I'd suggest to start from here and eventually come back for clarification. In short, you cannot without additional hardware, unless

your PC has at least two Ethernet interfaces, or
your existing router supports capturing, or
your existing switch supports traffic mirroring.

There are many way to do that, depending on the specifics. Have a look here on what we've collected on that subject over the years.
