1. A method, comprising:
communicating, by a network monitoring node, instructions to configure an access point of a wireless network to capture packets corresponding to one or more communications devices using the access point and to detect a communication failure based on the captured packets;
receiving, by the network monitoring node, at least a portion of the captured packets corresponding to the detected communication failure; and
analyzing the received portion of the captured packets to determine a cause of the detected communication failure.
