Which AP mode captures wireless frames and forwards them to a PC running a packet analyzer?

The correct answer is sniffer. In sniffer mode, an Access Point (AP) dedicates its wireless radio to capturing all wireless frames it detects and then forwards them to a connected device, typically a PC running a packet analyzer like Wireshark. This allows for detailed analysis of wireless traffic for troubleshooting, security auditing, or performance monitoring. Bridge mode allows the AP to connect two network segments, typically wired and wireless, acting as a layer 2 device. Monitor mode allows the AP to listen to wireless traffic without associating with a network, but it doesn't necessarily forward frames to an external analyzer in a dedicated, continuous stream like sniffer mode. Rogue detector mode is used to identify unauthorized APs on a network.
