The Channels Utilization Screen

From the Home Screen, touch Channels to open the
Channels Utilization screen, which provides an overview of
all channels and their APs.
AirCheck G2 calculates and records the average 802.11 and
Non 802.11 channel utilization for each channel per each
scan. Discrete channel utilization measurements begin when
you power on and update with each scan.
Bands: By default, the Tester scans channels on the

2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands. To change the bands for this
function, go to
Channel Number: The channel corresponding with the

bar graph above it.
Bar Graphs and Dots: The bar graphs show how

much of the channel capacity is used by 802.11
devices (blue) and by non-802.11 interference
(gray). The taller the bar, the noisier the channel.
The dark blue
many access points are using the channel as the
primary channel. The numeric value above the
dots also indicates the number of APs discovered
on that channel. In the example to the left,
Channel 11 has six APs.
