Driver Test
The test summary displays the Intel(R) PRO/Wireless Network
Connection driver supported by the WiFi adapter. The test verifies if
the driver binary version is compatible with the installed version of
the WiFi connection utility. The test fails if the driver binary is not
found or if the driver version does not match the WiFi connection
utility software version (for example, version 11.1.x.x and driver
version 9.0.x.x, 9.1.x.x, or 11.1.x.x).
Troubleshooting
● Reinstall the drivers using the WiFi connection utility.
Radio Test
The test summary displays Radio On or Radio Off. The test queries
the current radio state. If the radio is switched on, the test passes.
If the radio is off, the test fails.
Troubleshooting
Verify that your WiFi adapter's radio is on. There are two methods
to turn the radio on and off:
● The hardware switch
● The WiFi On/WiFi Off button in the WiFi connection utility
main window. See
Turn On or Off the Wireless Radio for more
information.
Scan Test
The test queries the WiFi networks within range of your WiFi
adapter. The test passes if networks can be seen in the scan list.
The Test Summary displays the number of networks available to
connect to.
Troubleshooting
● Verify that you are within range of an access point.
● Switch the wireless radio to off and back to on.
● Verify that the wireless band setting matches the access point
band setting.
● Switch the access point to off and back to on.
