Signal Test The test summary displays the signal quality. If the signal quality is
low, use the Troubleshoot button to diagnose and fix the problem.
Troubleshooting
● Move your computer 10 to 20 feet from the wireless access
point or router.
● Reduce interference by moving away from appliances
(microwaves, cell phones or 2.4 GHz phones) or access points
using the same channel.
● Try increasing the transmission power of the access point.
Ping Test
The test verifies whether the WiFi adapter successfully sent
messages to and received replies from the access point IP address,
default gateway, DHCP server (if enabled) and DNS servers. The
test summary displays whether replies from these entities were
received.
Example: Response: AP, default gateway. No Response: DHCP
server
NOTE: If the ping tests to this access point and default gateway are
successful but the ping test to the DNS server fails this is not a
wireless network issue but a general network issue.
Troubleshooting
● Disable the security firewall and try the ping test again.
● Contact the access point manufacturer to troubleshoot your
home network.
● Enterprise users should contact their network administrator.
