Revision history  [back]

Hello all.

I am new to downloading, installing, and using WireShark. I would like to use it to monitor network traffic on my home wireless router and the devices that are connected to it.

I looked at a tutorial, and there are some videos on YouTube on "How To".

Well, right off the bat, one of the videos I saw on YouTube? The user interface does not resemble mine when launched. I believe I have the latest version of WireShark v 3.0.1 I used the feature "Help", "Check For Updates", and it came back as "You're Up To Date!".

Granted, this video I saw on YouTube goes back quite a few years (it's dated Sept. 4, 2015), so maybe the interface has changed in the intervening years.

Here's a link to the video I'm referring to: link text

After the video starts (around the 6 second mark), you see the left-hand side? Underneath "Interface List"? Down below you see a list of the Wi-Fi's; you could click on one then select Start.

Well, when I launch my WireShark, here's what it looks like: link text

So....did I do something wrong during the install? How do I get it to display properly so that I can select my home wireless network and then monitor its traffic, etc.?

Thanks for any info & help; Pez
