Linksys Wireless Router LAN Sniffer

Jan 16, 2005 3 Replies

Can anyone recommend one? I want to monitor activity on my wireless LAN and I can't seem to locate one that works. I tried a few, but none seem to detect any packets send/received through the router.


Would you settle for using a firewall monitor? WALLWATCHER is pretty good.

IMHO, Ethereal

is as good as they come. You'll probably want to connect each PC to a hub because a switch (usually built into the router) will not forward other traffic to you for inspection.

Or you might be able to have the router log its connections/attempts via SNMP.
