I'm not completely sure of your network layout. I believe you can't sniff wifi traffic with just connecting to the same wifi network. Traffic from a device on wifi going to the internet is not rebroadcast to all devices on the wifi. If your device is connected to wifi and it's sending data to the internet it would go through the wifi router to the WAN port of the router. It wouldn't show up on the Wifi network or LAN. You possibly could tap it by mirroring the data on the WAN port. I did do this a little differently with my wifi weather station. I configured the pi to be an access point with its wireless adapter and the ethernet port connected to my router. I setup the access point on the pi to route to the ethernet port and connected the weather station to the pi access point. I modified the interceptor to use tcpdump to capture data on the pi wlan0. The modification was necessary because the interceptor was not able to sniff the wlan0 on the pi when it was in access point mode.
