Wireshark is a packet capturing application. Say you want to see the packets and their details that are traversing the network. You can install Wireshark on a computer and you can capture those packets for further analysis. You generally run Wireshark when the high level troubleshooting has not resulted in resolving your issue. When you inpect the actual packets, you can take a look at all of the details of the frame, payload, etc...
Wireshark is a free download, but does take some time to learn how to use, as well as you need to understand TCP/IP and its protocol suite pretty well to analyze the data.
