Why cant I capture packets even after I turn off promiscuous mode?

0

When capturing packets without promiscuous mode I get nothing. How do I set WireShark to work on my Wireless N router?

If this is on Windows, the answer may be "by installing Linux or *BSD on your machine". The support for Wi-Fi on Windows with WinPcap is limited, due to a combination of driver problems and WinPcap not supporting NDIS 6 (so that even with drivers that support Native Wi-Fi, WinPcap can't use it).
