Wi-Fi Spectrum View
Network Survey includes a Wi-Fi spectrum view for visualizing channel usage, signal strength, and network overlap across all Wi-Fi bands.
Accessing the Feature
Section titled “Accessing the Feature”From Wi-Fi Networks:
- Tap the spectrum icon in the top right corner of the Wi-Fi networks screen
- Requires Wi-Fi enabled and location permission
What You’ll See
Section titled “What You’ll See”The spectrum view shows all detected Wi-Fi networks organized by frequency band with signal strength and channel usage visualization.
Common Use Cases
Section titled “Common Use Cases”Site Surveys:
- Identify least congested channels before deploying new access points
- Optimal channels: 1, 6, or 11 (2.4 GHz); any available channel with minimal overlap (5/6 GHz)
Troubleshooting Interference:
- Identify channel congestion and overlapping networks
- Find clearer channels to improve performance
Network Planning:
- Visualize all APs in a building
- Assign non-overlapping channels across multiple access points
- Identify rogue or unauthorized APs
