No way. You can take one of the following ways:

  • sniff the WiFi directly (using a WLAN adaptor of the PC which is not an easy task),

  • sniff at the D-Link itself

  • sniff on D-Link's WAN interface (i.e. at the Ethernet connection between the D-Link and the modem).

This page and many similar Questions on this site explain the details.
