Tests
The Wi-Fi Inspector includes three built in tests to assist in troubleshooting and characterization of a Wi-Fi connection – the Connection, Quality, and Speed tests. From the Tests menu, Connection Test runs 5 Pings each directed to the DNS server, Gateway, and an Internet address, plus runs a DNS lookup. A pop up window displays the test results with an indication of Pass, Warning, or Fail result. Any lost Pings or an average Ping latency of greater than 100 msec to the Gateway or DNS server or greater than 250 msec to the Internet will result in a ‘Warning’. Ping or DNS lookup failure will result in a ‘Fail’.
