If the Tester Does Not Discover a Client
In some situations, the tester will not discover a client:
•
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 Channels 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 setting in Tools > Manage 802.11 settings.
•
The client does not transmit a probe when the tester
listens to the channel that the client uses.
