AirCheck Wi-Fi Tester
Users Manual

The connect button shows as “Connect*” if the tester
cannot connect to the highlighted network or access point.
This occurs because the network uses security credentials
that are not included in the profile that is loaded.
Entering Security Credentials Using “Connect”
The tester must have the correct security credentials to
connect to a secure network. Secure networks have a green
or yellow closed lock ( ) in the security column.
To enter security credentials, use the AirCheck Connect*
button and you are guided into the security credentials
configuration screens. You can also use AirCheck Manager
to make a profile that includes the security credentials. If
using AirCheck Manager, you will need to transfer the
profile to the tester and load it. See page 29.
To enter security credentials:
Note
You can also add an SSID and set up its security
credentials by going to
Tools > Manage profiles /
network passwords > Edit networks > Add.
