To select devices
1
From the Site Assessment page, select Devices.
All registered devices are shown.
If not shown, you may need to pair with the device and then register it. See
“Connecting a WiFi Advisor for the first time” on page 12
and unregistering devices” on page 12
2
Choose an AP (access point) Location.
3
Select a Station Location.
The Access Point device generally stays in one location (the desired location for the
actual Access Point / Residential Gateway) and the Station device typically travels
from test location to test location.
Step 2: Specifying the Broadband Service Rate
This setting specifies the broadband service rate that the customer is receiving from
their internet provider. If not specified (left blank), the setting is ignored.
To specify the Broadband Service Rate
1
From the Site Assessment page, select Broadband Service.
2
Enter the rate in MBit/s.
NOTE:
If you experience trouble, look at the number of Bluetooth devices in the area. Three
to four devices is a practical limit, depending on the types of devices and profiles
used. Some devices require more Bluetooth data, so they are more demanding than
other devices. Data-intensive devices may reduce the total number of devices that
can be active at the same time. If a Bluetooth device becomes slow to connect or
does not perform reliably, reduce the total number of connected devices.
