Network interface switches
Hello there,
I want to use Wireshark to monitor traffic exchange in an small network made of two sensor nodes, my laptop as a server, and a router that I just use to connect my laptop and the sensor nodes. You can consider it as a small IoT.
Before running Wireshark, all works fine; sensor nodes periodically send their measures to my laptop through WiFi and my laptop prints the measurement. The issue is when I run Wireshark. When I run Wireshark and put the network interface in monitor mode and then start capturing packets, the network becomes disconnected and it switches to another WiFi network if it is available. I played with different options but I have not yet figured out why this is happening.
I should add that Wireshark normally works fine, and can capture packets on say my home WiFi network or my WiFi network at work. This problems appears when I want to capture traffic of my IoT. Could you provide me some hints on how this can be fixed?
Thank you,
