Hi - in some years-old postings, I've read of success when using a Netgear USB wifi adapter to allow monitor mode packet capture on Windows 10/11. Currently, https://www.netgear.com/home/wifi/ada... shows six adapters. Is it known whether any of these allow monitor mode packet capture for Wireshark?

Thanks

In general, monitor mode on Windows is very poorly supported by the adaptors, their firmware and their drivers.

The prevailing view seems to be use Linux instead.
