# 5. Taking 6 GHz Packet Capture on your laptop
Direct from Go to Wireshark
If you would like to use the WLAN Pi Go to capture packets on your laptop, there are some options.
On Mac, Intuitibits has another tool called Airtool 2 which functions the same way as Airtool Pi.
It can be downloaded here:

Operation is very similar to Airtool Pi. There are many benefits of Airtool such as multi-adapter capture. For example, you can connect multiple WLAN Pi Go devices to your Mac and capture on multiple channels simultaneously.
## Wireshark Capture
The free to use, cross platform approach is using Wireshark with a single WLAN Pi Go.
Ensure you have the latest version of Wireshark installed and in the opening screen find 'Capture'. Scroll to the bottom to find 'Wi-Fi remote capture wifidump'
Click the settings icon to the left and make the following changes.
Set the IP address of the SSH server to `10.42.0.1`
Set the remote interface to wlan0 and set the channel and width to the desired channel.
Capture should start working when you press start

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:
```
GET https://wlanpi.gitbook.io/cookbook/5.-taking-6-ghz-packet-capture-on-your-laptop.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `build a script that syncs our docs to a CMS` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
