Manual Diagnostics Tool
The Manual Diagnostics Tool lets you run a set of diagnostics tests that verify the functionality of your WiFi
adapter. There are two levels of diagnostics details represented in this tool: user level and technical support level.
At the user level, the tool only shows a short description of the different diagnostics steps that are being taken
and only shows a pass or fail indication for each step.
The technical support level includes the creation of a log file which contains detailed information on all the
executed tests. This log file can be saved to a text file and emailed to a technical support department to
troubleshoot connection problems.
