Hi, It would be helpful to know what OS you are running.

May I also suggest reading this

Wifi capture from wireshark wiki

If you're trying to capture network traffic that's not being sent to or from the machine running Wireshark or TShark, i.e. traffic between two or more other machines on an Ethernet segment, or are interested in 802.11 management or control packets, or are interested in radio-layer information about packets, you will probably have to capture in "monitor mode". This is discussed below.

is your WiFi access point / switch capable of port mirroring?
