• A result without knowing what happened during the capture is of little use. Try to make
note of what the capture is designed to capture and what devices are involved, what
devices are present and what was expected to happen but did not.
• Try not to influence the monitored system. For exam
ple, if capturing wired traffic with
Wireshark or OmniPeek, consider disabling name resolution because each IP/name
lookup will generate traffic from your PC to the DNS server.
• If data on one channel is to be recorded the WLAN ad
apter can only be set to listen to
one channel. If roaming is going to be monitored, two or more channels need to be
monitored, in which case one adapter per channel is required.
