Hey guys, having a problem with a Linux laptop running Wireshark not picking up the IoT packets I'm trying to examine. One solution suggested to me was to put the IoT on a second wireless router, with that router's WAN port going through a hub to a LAN port on the primary. Then plug the laptop into another port on the hub, so it can see all the packets.
I like this idea, but I haven't had a hub in ages. Found this guy for $12:

Alternatively, this managed switch is like, $9 but might be overkill. I can set up Port Mirroring, according to the online manual.
