what is wireshark filter to see only beacon frames

Association Request / Response followed by EAPoL packets if WPA(2) Auth.Authentication Request / Response ( Then when a client wants to connect you have the wireless 'handshake' Was expecting to capture about 5-10 beacon frames for. A total of 6 WiFi access points (2.4G and 5G on three units) broadcasting two SSID' on each (primary and Guest). One router and two satellites with both primary and Guest networks.

So basically it's beacon frames every 100ms from every AP with or without plaintext SSID. My attempt to capture WiFi management frames on my mesh WiFi network continues. Why your HTC behaves different -> sorry no idea For that + other reasons (on windows OS) networks in your PNL get probed to see if there is a probe response from the AP (meaning the network is in range).

IF you have a wireless network not sending it's SSID in plaintext (hidden SSID), then your wireless device of course can't see it the network if there. Every access point periodically sends out Beacon Frames (10 per second), from which the wireless clients can read all neccessary information like channel, SSID name, Encryption settings etc. Basically there is no need for wireless devices to probe networks just to see which are available.
