Nmap: No monitor mode on Wireshark, Windows 10

Created on 28 Aug 2017  路  5Comments  路  Source: nmap/nmap

I have the same problem as in this issue but I did what it work there and it doesn't work for me.

These are my system details:

OS version: Windows 10
Wireshark version: Version 2.4.0 (v2.4.0-0-g9be0fa500d)
Npcap version: 0.93
WinPcap version: 5.0.93 (the one is installed with Npcap)

I also tried Npcap 0.9 as it says in the thread I mentioned about, but it didn't work either.

In addition, when using WlanHelper.exe, I get this error:

But when I installed Npcap, I checked the "Support raw 802.11 traffic..." option.
I attached the 2 log files that I have.

Thank you!

When I use Wlanhelper to change the mode, it gives me an error:

C:\Windows\System32\Npcap>WlanHelper 247aff08-3647-4ed0-b8cb-b426d056f67a mode monitor
Error: SetWlanOperationMode::SetInterface error, error code = 50 (The request is not supported)
Failure

Please do not use the names in the example (42dfd47a-2764-43ac-b58e-3df569c447da or Wireless Network Connection. Your actual wireless interface names are probably not the same as them.

You can get your GUIDs and interface names via: WlanHelper.exe -i. Then try these names with your command again.

Was this issue resolved? I'm facing the same issue.

BTW I am using Netgear A7000 instead of A6210. Is that the problem?
