Trouble Receiving Wireless Traffic from Other Devices on Network

Hello, I am having problems capturing traffic sent between devices other than my own on my network. I am running Wireshark 2.6.2 64-bit on Windows 10. Originally, I was using the WinPCap library, but after reading this article, I removed WinPCap and installed Npcap so monitor mode would work. I'm not 100% certain if monitor mode is necessary to accomplish this, but other articles pointed in this direction. Ideally, I'd like to be able to capture wireless traffic sent between other devices on my network, specifically HTTP packets. Thanks for any help.
