Like their wired counterparts, wireless packet sniffers can play an important role in analyzing network traffic and identifying problems.Wireless sniffers can capture not only the data frames but also management frames, such as beacon frames and acknowledgement frames. A wireless packet sniffer can be used to help reveal the following WLAN problems:
* An access point that is advertising its SSID when it is intended to be turned off
* An access point with encryption disabled
