address of the access point that the tester uses for the
connection. When you connect to a network, the tester
usually connects through the access point that has the
highest Signal to Noise Ratio. If the network includes
secure and unsecure access points and security
credentials are available, the tester tries to connect to
the secure access point that has the highest Signal to
Noise Ratio. Some networks use a controller that
connects you to the access point that has the least
amount of traffic.

are included in the profile. The tester shows a green
checkmark ( )if the device responded or a red X (
it did not respond. To ping other devices, do a ping test.
