I suspect I have a more fundamental problem now. I don't see any traffic from the device I'm trying to inspect. I suspect that is because it is connected via a mesh repeater and there's nothing else on that repeater's wifi network. They're all on the main router's mesh master wifi. So whilst everything can talk to one another happily via the router, I suspect tcpdump can't see the packets?
You have two wifi access points, one has only your Raspi, the other has all the other wireless devices?
I have a Fritz!Box router that has all my wireless devices connected to it including the pi, but NOT the device I'm trying to monitor. That has connected itself via a Fritz!Repeater that's meshed to the router. But the device can talk to an app on a phone on the router's network. They all have addresses in 192.168.179.*
