Wlan Test - Connect to a WPA2 PSK AES AP (93197ac8-e6b8-4c2e-8252-b8afead392a8)

  • Article

This automated test creates a wireless profile using the values provided in the two parameters.

Note

Microsoft will be accepting 802.11ad WDI drivers for HLK certification for the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update (1709) to facilitate broad distribution and testing among Windows Insiders and ecosystem partners. However, due to the lack of broad testing of 802.11ad WDI functionality, this feature is enabled as a developer preview for the Windows 10, version 1709 release. 

If a problem is encountered with 802.11ad functionality, please contact your 802.11ad IHV partner for support assistance.   Microsoft is committed to supporting 802.11ad Wi-Fi connectivity in a future version of Windows 10 in order to enable wireless docking and other scenarios.

Additional documentation

Tests in this feature area might have additional documentation, including prerequisites, setup, and troubleshooting information, that can be found in the following topic(s):

Running the test

Before you run the test, complete the test setup as described in the test requirements: Wireless LAN (802.11) Testing Prerequisites.

The test does the following:

  • Connect to the wireless network specified using the created profile.

  • If connection success message is not seen from the driver within six seconds, the test will fail.

  • If there is a connection failure, the test will fail.

  • Wait for 60 seconds for the Windows NLM to return network connected status (this waits for DHCP assignment).

  • Choose a target IPv4 address from either the DHCP server on the network or the default gateway (DHCP server has priority).

  • Send ICMP message to the target IPv4 address and expect success.

  • Connect to port 80 of the target address and expect either a HTTP 401 challenge or HTTP 200 success.

Failure to ping the target address or to connect to port 80 of the target address will result in a test failure.

Troubleshooting

For generic troubleshooting of HLK test failures, see Troubleshooting Windows HLK Test Failures.

For troubleshooting information, see Troubleshooting Wireless LAN (802.11) Tests.

Make sure that the following are true:

  • The specified SSID is within range of the device

  • The specified password is correct.

  • The target IP address can be pinged.

  • The target IP address is running a web server.

Most home routers (including routers that are specified in the Windows Hardware Lab Kit (Windows HLK)WLAN setup) will satisfy these requirements.
