Discovering Networks and Access Points

4. DISCOVERING NETWORKS AND ACCESS POINTS
The Networks list and the Access Points list are populated
with SSIDs and access points that have been discovered by
the AirCheck G2 in your location.
1 From the Home Screen, select either Networks or Access
Points. The tester shows the Networks list (Figure 3) or
the Access Points list
(Figure 7).
2 To see details about a network or access point, tap its
row in the list to open the Network or AP Details screen.
NOTES:
• By default, the tester hears wireless signals on both the
2.4-GHz (b/g/n/ax) and 5-GHz (a/n/ac/ax) frequency
bands. To change thi
s setting, from the Home Screen, go
to Settings > 802.11 Settings > Bands.
• The Netwo
rks and Access Points screens automatically
update with each scanning cycle.
• An SSID is in bl
ack text if the network (or access point) is
in range.
• By default, a device row’s
b
ackground turns gray to
indicate that a network or
device has not been detected for the last four scans, or is
now out of range. To change this setting, from the Home
Screen, go to Settings > 802.11 Settings > Inaudible
Devices.
• If a network name is shown as [H
idden], the network
does not broadcast its SSID.
• If an SSID shows in square brackets, the tester found the
hidd
en SSID in packets from other wireless clients.
• Colored bars that indicate the status or rating of Signal
Str
ength and Level, Noise, and SNR are controlled by
Thresholds, which can be configured in Settings.
See “Adjusting the Test Thresholds,” page 64.
