You can click the Rescan button to force the radio to rescan all available channels. If your link quality or signal strength is poor, rescanning can be used to push the radio off a weak Access Point and search for a better link with another Access Point.
Loop Back
The Loop Back dialog box helps you examine data transmission quality between your USB Client and any workstation on the network. Enter the IP address of one local client and one remote client, adjust the Ping Interval and Packet Size (if necessary), and click Ping. If there is a reply, communication is successful.
In addition, you can run a proprietary loopback test by clicking the Loop Back button; this will verify the communication quality between your wireless client and Access Point. Click the Refresh button to set the counters back to 0.
