Figure 13-2 Radio Diagnostics Page
The carrier test helps you determine which radio frequencies contain the most
radio activity and noise that could interfere with radio signals to and from the
access point.
Use the carrier test to determine the best frequency for the access point to use.
When you conduct a carrier test, make sure all wireless networking devices within
range of the access point are operating to make the test results reflect a realistic
radio environment.
When you click Start, the radio scans the access point’s available frequencies and
displays the radio activity in the Carrier Test window.
Note The access point drops all associations with wireless networking devices during
the carrier test.
