AP Top Talker
The AP Top Talker test identifies the access point that is
consuming the most bandwidth.
1. Tap AP Top Talker.
The preview pane identifies the device (by name and
SSID) and shows the channel it is active on. You can
also see utilization and security information for the
device.
2. Tap
to obtain more detailed information
about the AP.
On the Device “details” screen, you can tap one of
the hyperlinks to look view specific metrics, such as
signal strength or Tx/Rx information.
If the AP is experiencing problems, you can also
follow a link to navigate to the Problem Log to find
out what specific problems it is having. Depending
on the type of problem detected, you may need to
run one of the diagnostic tests. To run a test, tap the
desired hyperlinks (for example, Wireless
Throughput or Trace Route).
