31

Troubleshoot: If the Tester Does Not Discover
a Client
In some situations, the tester cannot discover a client
because of the following:
• The wireless card in the client is disabled.
• The tester cannot hear the client because you are too far
away
from the client.
• The tester cannot hear the client because the signal
cannot go through a wall or some other barrier.
• There is too much interference on the channel that the
client uses. Select Channe
ls to see the interference from
non-802.11 sources on the channel.
• The tester does not scan the band that the client uses.
See the set
ting in Settings > 802.11 Settings.
• The client does not transmit when the tester is listening
to the channel t
hat the client uses.
• A Filt
er is active on the current screen that is filtering out
one or more clients. Tap to clear the filter.
• The Interferers Only Scan setting is enabled in
Settings > Interferer Settings.
