Cheap or not, all switches work the same way and hubs have been obsolete for many years. Also, hubs are half duplex and most 10 Mb only. Ntop doesn't show all the data on a network. It can show what's happening on your computer or use software on other devices to collect data. However, it cannot just see other traffic.
But that's the issue, it just does. At least on my home.
But when ntop is running on the laptop, via wifi, it sees nothing of the others.
That's more due to the hardware. WiFi is quite different in operation than Ethernet networks. The same happens with Wireshark. Normally a WiFi NIC has to associate with another device, before it receives data from it. To my knowledge, there's no such thing as the "promiscuous mode" as used on Ethernet NICs to sniff traffic on WiFi. Sniffing WiFi generally requires special equipment, such as the test equipment I mentioned in another note.
