I only want to see the user data packets.

What should i do to listen to the traffic that one laptop is sending to the
routher with a third party laptop?


Where is the function?

Hello!


I have got my wireshark to work perfectly. but when i read the FAQ on
the net, i see that people want to see packets that is sent with 802.11
WLAN.


Is it possible to watch all open traffic with wireshark? if so, how?

It depends ...

If you just want to see the "user data packets" (similar to what you
would see when capturing from a wired network connection), you should
have no problems.

If you want to see "wireless management frames" and similar. it gets a
lot more complicated.
