Can Devices Connect to My Network?
Use the tester to verify connectivity. See “Verifying Connectivity and Coverage," page 66.
NOTE:
To connect to a secure network, the tester must have a profile that includes security credentials. If credentials are not
available, touch Connect to open the Configuration screen, so that you can enter the appropriate credentials.
Can a device connect as a client
to my network (SSID)?
Select Netw
orks, touch a network to open its details screen, then press Connect.
Can a device connect to an access
po
int (BSSID)?
Select Access Points, touch an access point to open the details screen, and then touch
Connect.
If a device cannot connect to a
network or access point, where
does the connection procedure
fail?
If the Connection test fails, first expand the Connection test status (by tapping the arrow
button) to see which step failed. For example, if it failed to authenticate, check the
security type and credentials match between the AP and AirCheck G2.
Look at the connection test log by tapping Log at the
bottom of the Connect test results
screen.
Can a device ping a network
device?
Perform a Connect to Network or Connect to AP test. The results show if the default
gateway, DHCP server, primary DNS server, secondary DNS server, and up to ten selected
network target addresses can be reached via Ping or TCP Port Open Test. Network targets
are configured and selected in (Setti
ngs) > Test Targets. By default, www.google.com is
included.
