Network Performance and Rogue Access Point Detection When rogue access point detection is enabled, access points intermittently go off channel for short periods, which can affect network performance. If security concerns are more important than network performance, you can temporarily select a high or aggressive rogue access point detection interval. If network performance is more important than security concerns, select a low or medium rogue access point detection interval, in which case security is addressed but network performance is not compromised. Under normal circumstances, NETGEAR recommends a low rogue access point detection interval. Use the Diagnostic Tools on the Wireless Controller As part of the diagnostics functions on the wireless controller, you can ping a managed access point from the wireless controller or trace its route from the wireless controller.  To ping an access point: 1. Select Diagnostics > Ping. The Ping screen displays. Figure 119. 2. In the Ping Count field, enter the number of ping packets to be sent. (The default number is 10.) Troubleshooting 200

Network Performance and Rogue Access Point Detection
When rogue access point detection is enabled, access points intermittently go off channel for
short periods, which can affect network performance. If security concerns are more important
than network performance, you can temporarily select a high or aggressive rogue access
point detection interval. If network performance is more important than security concerns,
select a low or medium rogue access point detection interval, in which case security is
addressed but network performance is not compromised. Under normal circumstances,
NETGEAR recommends a low rogue access point detection interval.
Use the Diagnostic Tools on the Wireless Controller
As part of the diagnostics functions on the wireless controller, you can ping a managed
access point from the wireless controller or trace its route from the wireless controller.
To ping an access point:
1.
Select
Diagnostics > Ping
. The Ping screen displays.
