Question use wireshark to diagnose wifi problem

[think2]

My Bridge club has been having intermittent wifi problems. Does anyone know if it's possible / viable to run wireshark on a Windows laptop and capture all the messages between tablets and the access points to see what is happening.

Also, if I connect to the access point from my Windows 10 laptop and run ping, any idea what is a good test to do? Since I suspect that either long packets have more trouble than short ones or that traffic sent by the AP has more problems than traffic sent by a tablet, should I use the -l option and set packet length to 1000 or something?

Does anyone know if the Ubiquity access point controller software can log data that could give a clue as to what is happening?

Sounds like either you want to cheat or you suspect someone of cheating. Seems there would be other ways to troubleshoot wireless problems. That aside, my use of Wireshark is limited. Good luck.

You are wasting your time. Technology is Not based on Verbal Hyperbolic (like Politics).

One really has to understand high level complicated technology it in order to deal with such issues.

Intercepting a Password protected, or and encrypted signal from the Air and analyze it via regular computer is not a matter of using regular WIFI and find some "miracle" software.

In order to do so, One needs special and (extremely expensive system) which is Not available for the public at large.

What kind of issues are they having with their wap? Is it just with one wap? Or multiple waps?
