Andy Burns has brought this to us :
It's not that simple to "sniff" wifi traffic, you're looking at e.g.
linux with a wifi dongle in monitor mode, unless you can "rig" an extra
access point to force the device through ethernet and sniff it there on a
switch with mirror port, in short if you knew how to force it to do any
of those you wouldn't be asking here ...

Yes, I thought it might not be that easy, just asking if I might be
missing a simple way to more quickly confirm it was running.

Many routers will show data volume stats by ip so you can see what it
succeeds in doing.
