Captive Portal
When the Captive Portal setting is enabled, this portion of the
test opens a web browser window that allows you to enter
the required credentials for the network. Use the zoom icons
in the top navigation bar to zoom in or out in the browser
window. Once you are finished in the browser window, tap
OK to return to the connect test in progress.
NOTE: You must set up the Network (not the AP) with the
Captive Portal setting turned On for this function to
appear in the connect test. The Captive Portal setting
appears on the Configure Network screen. See “How to:
Add a Network and Configure Network Settings,” page
107.

DNS 1 and DNS 2: Indicate whether the primary (DNS 1) and
secondary (DNS 2) DNS servers could be successfully pinged.
(User-Definable) Targets: Indicates whether or not the user-
configured test targets could be successfully pinged or
reached with a TCP Port Open test.
NOTE: The default target is www.google.com, but you
can add and edit test targets. See “Defining Ping and
TCP Port Open Test Targets,” page 66.
Link-Live Upload: Indicates whether the tester was able to
upload the current test results to a Link-Live account. See
“Getting Started in Link-Live Cloud Service,” page 55.
PHY Data Rate: The highest measured physical transmit
data rate.
NOTE: If the tester roams to a new AP after a connection
test has completed, a data rate of - is displayed. The -
indicates that AirCheck G2 is not currently transmitting
Wi-Fi data and a data rate cannot be obtained.
