A student tries to capture in monitor mode while browsing the web on the same single Wi-Fi adapter. What limitation applies?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
One radio is one set of ears and one mouth—hard to stay joined to the office Wi-Fi and also sit in pure monitor mode at once. You usually need a second interface if you want both jobs. That is a hardware-role limit, not a browser bug.
Full Explanation
A single wireless radio is typically dedicated to either managed client operation or monitor-mode capture. Attempting both roles on one interface leads to mode conflicts and unreliable results. Parallel browsing and monitor workflows require separate adapters or careful role switching, not simultaneous dual use of one radio.
