Understanding Wireless Client Throughput From a Wireshark Capture

[@rameshbabu2704]

This video bumped into me just at the right moment when I wanted it. This content is so relevant even in 2024. Thanks for your effort to make such a nice tutorial. I have loads of pcap files and didn't know how to extract the right information. Now i am like suddenly enlightened. God bless u Sir!

It seems a long time since I recorded this video. So glad it's still useful! Thanks for the great feedback :)

This video is 4 years old now, and it's still producing fruit. :) What a great video. Thanks for taking the time to do this Nigel!

[@WifiNigel]

Thanks Devin! :) Good to hear from you.

A good friend of mine suggested I could have modified my display filter to eliminiate any retry frames overhead when assessing the throughput. I agree ths would have been a better approach to see the application data without the retries included. I'll leave it for you all to figure out with your new-found Wireshark knowledge! (hint: add in ' && wlan.fc.retry == 0' to the display filer)

Please create more of these videos and share your knowledge. This is good work.

Great video, long enough so that explanation is clear, but not too long. Keep 'em coming Nigel!

How do you get the signal strength reading column? Only for Wifi is it?
