1. Select Status and Statistics -> Radio Stats -> Radio1(802.11b/g) Stats -> Retry
Histogram from the access point menu tree.
A Radio Histogram screen is available for each access point radio (regardless of single or
dual-radio model).
The table’s first column shows 0 under Retries. The value under the Packets column
directly to the right shows the number of packets transmitted by this access point radio that
required 0 retries (delivered on the first attempt). As you go down the table you can see the
number of packets requiring 1 retry, 2 retries etc. Use this information to assess whether an
abundance of retries warrants reconfiguring the access point radio to achieve better
performance.
2. Click Apply to save any changes to the Radio Histogram screen. Navigating away from the
screen without clicking Apply results in changes to the screens being lost.
3. Click Undo Changes (if necessary) to undo any changes made to the screen. Undo Changes
reverts the settings to the last saved configuration.
4. Click Logout to securely exit the access point Symbol Access Point applet. A prompt
displays confirming the logout before the applet is closed.
