In the list of available files, get the ones for “GeoLite2 ASN”, “GeoLite2 City” and “GeoLite2 Country ” as GZIPed files: After you log in, click the “Download Databases” Link in your “Account Summary” page: After you have created your account, write down/save your credentials (and API access token they give you during the initial password reset, in case you want to automate the download later). ![]() They will send you an email to set (“reset”) your password, containing a link you need to open. So first, create your account, probably similar to this: The reasons for that are explained in a blog post here: You need to create an account before you can download the files you need. Update: MaxMind has changed the access to the database to require a personal account, which is free of charge. ![]() If you had configured an older Wireshark version with the previous “legacy” databases you’ll have to remove the old legacy DB files and replace them with the new ones, as well as reconfigure the 2.6 installation with new preference settings to point them to the database files. Starting with Wireshark 2.6, the format the GeoIP database used by Wireshark has changed to use the newer GeoLite2 format of the MaxMind databases.

Since it happens that users run on old Wireshark versions for various reasons I decided against rewriting the existing blog post, even though I always recommend choosing the latest stable version.
