Can't receive packets on wireshark. And Both Programmer and Bluetooth Low Energy do not work properly.

The detected device could not be recognized as neither JLink nor BLE could be captured in wireshark, nor could the nRF Connect v3.4.2 - Programmer produce "Unsupported device. device nor Nordic USB device." and I can't write to it anymore. Also, nRF Connect v3.4.2 - Bluetooth Low Energy now gives an error when selecting a device.

How can I get it to work properly?

In Wireshark, it does appear as a capture device.

I'm using Wireshark version is 3.2.6
nRF Connect's version is 3.4.2


I tried to set it up to work in Wireshark by referring to it here.

  • Hi

    What exactly are you trying to get the Dongle to do? Do you want to use it as a central in the Bluetooth Low Energy app on nRFConnect for Desktop, or are you trying to use it as a sniffer? If you'd like to use it in the BLE app, please try plugging the Dongle into your computer, press the reset button on the side of the Dongle and confirm that the red LED is pulsating. Connecting the Dongle in the BLE app should now give you the message "Device must be programmed", which should let your Dongle be programmed successfully.

    Best regards,

  • I want to use it as a sniffer, before I rewritten it as a sniffer with programmer, it was recognized by blinking red light. However, after I wrote in Programmer to use it as Sniffer, it is no longer recognized by nRF Connect, and even as Sniffer, it is recognized by wireshark but cannot receive packets.
    In order to use it as a Sniffer, I can't write to it because it is not recognized by Programmer.

    Currently, I connected USB as taught and pushed the button, but now it does not turn red.
