Channels Test
The Channels Test scans all channels in the 802.11a and
802.11 b/g spectrums to locate active channels, active
APs, active clients, and ad hoc devices. For each active
channel discovered, the test focuses on key metrics that
give you information about a channel’s configuration
and health.
To view results:

The main panel indicates how many channels are
being scanned. The preview pane shows separate
summaries of results for the 802.11a and 802.11b/g
networks. A small graph, which accompanies each
summary, visually displays the percentage of local
utilization.
