The Roaming Test indicates how well the network supports
client roaming. When you move from location to location
with AirCheck G2 during a roaming test, it will display when a
roaming event has occurred and to which BSSID it has
roamed.
NOTE: For a roaming test to work properly, you must choose
a target that responds to ICMP Pings. If no such target is
available, you can still view roaming results, but ping loss rate
will be 100% and the roaming test's Connection Range (line
graph) will report "< 1%".

How to: Start a roaming test

Once AirCheck G2 has connected to a network, the Roaming
Test button appears at the bottom of the Connect to
Network screen (Figure 38).
1 Touch the Roaming Test button to open the Select
Target screen, which presents you with a number of
roaming test targets to choose from.
2 Select a target.
3 Touch Apply.
The Roaming Test screen opens, and live data starts to
populate the screen.
