A method is disclosed for capture, display, and analysis at a receiver-specific, per-packet level for a wireless access point. The method includes configuring an access point for a capture mode. In the capture mode, the access point captures information from a packet being processed through the access point's network stack, such as PHY or MAC layer information relevant to the access point. The method further includes encapsulating the captured information in an Ethernet packet, and tunneling the Ethernet packet with the captured information to a destination host computer. At the destination host computer, the Ethernet packet is decapsulated to obtain the captured information, which may then be displayed and/or analyzed according to well known methods.
