Q.When I’m using the Assisted Site Survey Wizard, the radio scan progress advances very slowly. How long does it radio scan normally take?

A.Radio scan normally takes about 5 to 10 minutes to complete. If you suspect the program has stalled, check its status by selecting Radio Manager > AP Radio Scan and viewing the progress of the job.

Q.Can I skip client walkabout in the Assisted Site Survey Wizard even though the number of data shown is zero?

A.Yes, you can skip client walkabout. However, performing a client walkabout will generate better parameters for your wireless network.

Q.In the client walkabout step in the Assisted Site Survey Wizard, what is the Recall button for?

A.You can click Recall to display a list of the last five client MAC addresses that were used for the previous client walkabout. To retrieve a previously used MAC address, click Recall and select a MAC address from the list.

Q.What is the difference between the Number of Location Data and Number of New Location Data fields?

A.Number of Location Data is the total number of data found by client walkabout for the current session plus any previous sessions.

The numbers in these two fields can increase at the same time during a client walkabout.
