Connection Test Results
The Connection test results indicate whether or not you can
connect to an AP for the configured network at your current
location. The Connection field turns green if the connection
was successful and red if the connect was unsuccessful.
Tap the down arrow to the right of Connection to view
high level connection diagnostics. These results also receive a
rating based on whether the individual test was successful, or
based on how measurements compare to the configured
thresholds: Pass or Success (green), Warning (yellow),
or Fail (red)
Connect to AP: Indicates whether the tester was able to
connect to the AP.
Authenticate: Indicates whether the tester was able to
authenticate with the AP.
Exchange packets with AP: Indicates whether the tester
received packets back from the AP.
