Running the test

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

This test performs the following actions:

  • Configures two routers, that are named Router 0 and Router 1, as follows:
    • Router 0 - 2.4Ghz : WPA2PSK/AES [Preferred PHY G/Channel 1]
    • Router 0 - 5Ghz : WPA2PSK/AES [Preferred PHY A/Channel 44]
    • Router 1 - 2.4Ghz : WPA2PSK/AES [Preferred PHY G/Channel 9]
    • Router 1 - 5Ghz : WPA2PSK/AES [Preferred PHY N/Channel 36]
    • Router 0 and Router 1 share the same SSID for their 2.4Ghz radios.
    • Router 0 and Router 1 share the same SSID for their 5Ghz radios.
    • For roaming purposes, network address translation (NAT) is enabled on both routers.
  • Execute the SuddenLossOfSignal() test steps as described in WLAN Roaming Tests - Custom Configuration
  • Execute the GradualLossOfSignal() test steps as described in WLAN Roaming Tests - Custom Configuration
