How can I monitor wifi traffic on my wifi router?

It's a Draytek 2900Gi. There isn't anything obvious in the menus...

I would like to monitor packets to/from a particular wifi client.

SNMP monitoring is a distinct possibility with this router.

and it's probably your best option for monitoring packets to/from a
particular wifi client.

Hi

I use PRTG Traffic Grapher from www.paessler.com with my 3COM router, its
free with limitations but is good enough for my simple needs. It may suit
you. It requires SNMP I can't say if your particular router supports that
or not?

Have you tried reading the documentation for your router?

There isn't any. This is a Draytek!

So have you tried PRTG then?

I would think to enable SNMP you'll need to access your router's setup
from your browser. On the 3COM its more or less just a matter of
ticking the box!

Manuals are at ftp://ftp.draytek.com/ and pick your router. Alternately
look on the CD that came with your router
