Adjust Signal Strength Measurements
to Agree with Other Devices
Signal strength measurements from different models of
wireless testers or from clients used as a reference do not
always agree with each other. The differences are caused
mainly by differences in the antennas. To make the devices
agree, you can add an offset to the AirCheck
measurements.
To add an offset to signal strength measurements
1
Find the offset value:
Use the AirCheck tester and the other device to measure
the signal strength in the same location. Record the
difference in the measurement for each channel that is
important to you.
2
Select Tools.
3
Select Manage 802.11 settings, then select Use custom
signal adjustment.
4
On the User Offsets screen, use to select a
channel, then use . to select an offset value.
5
Repeat step 4 as necessary for other channels.
6
To save the offset values, press Save.
When you turn off the tester, it saves the offsets in the
profile. The offsets also show in reports you make with
AirCheck Manager.

To prevent inconsistent measurements later, be
sure to remember that you adjusted the offsets.
